        Dynasty Warriors Advance (真・三國無双 Advance Shin Sangoku Musō Adobansu?, Shin Sangokumusou Advance in Japan) is a video game for the Game Boy Advance portable handheld system, part of the Dynasty Warriors series. The game was published by Nintendo, and developed by Koei using their external development company Omega Force. It was released on August 29, 2005.

        Gameplay

        Players choose from 13 characters based on Chinese history, battling through 11 battle maps. Each character has similar attacks to their counterparts in the other Dynasty Warriors games. The character development system is also present in the game, which allows the player to collect a large multitude of weapons for each character.

        Like the other Dynasty Warriors games, the play modes are Free Mode, Musou Mode and Challenge Mode.

        Unlike the non-portable-console Dynasty Warriors Games, there are a set number of possible positions for the characters. You can go up to two spots back and one spot forward. However, the player can only move when it says "Player Move." When it is an "Ally Move" or an "Enemy Move," the player can not perform any functions.

        The abilities to jump, build Musou, and shoot arrows in battle from the previous games were omitted from Advance. Also, characters' speech is all in subtitles, with no voiceovers. Though there is dialogue when a character defeats an officer. Most commonly "Enemy officer defeated".

        Dynasty Warriors Advance received very mixed reviews upon release. IGN disliked the game, grading it 4 out of 10,[10] criticizing the low number of on-screen enemies at any time, and the "button-mashing" gameplay. Nintendo Power, however, gave the game a 7 (out of 10), praising its replay value that "ranks among the best" on the Game Boy Advance system.[11] The game currently has a score of 56 out of 100 at Metacritic,[3] and 55% at GameRankings.[2]
