Dynasty Warriors 5 Xtreme Legends cover

Dynasty Warriors 5 Xtreme Legends yet another expansional game created by the well known video game company Koei and their underlings, Omega Force. As can be seen, this is meant to be a minor expansion to Dynasty Warriors 5. This game had been released during Novemeber 16th of 2005 and is playable only on the PS2 video game console.

[edit] Exclusiveness of Dynasty Warriors 5 Xtreme Legends

Dynasty Warriors 5 Xtreme Legends first of all does not allow for you to play Musou Mode or Free Mode if you do not posess the original Dynasty Warriors 5 game disk. Three new characters were originally planned to be added to this expansion, but they believed they coud make plenty money off of the game without the new three, and could be praised with these three new characters when seen in Dynasty Warriors 6 (if it ever will exist). Within this game however, Challenge Mode, Xtreme Mode, along with Destiny Mode are new modes playable in this game. Xtreme Mode is exactly the same as Shura Mode in Dynasty Warriors 5 Special, in which you are to survive as long as you can while you are to use the gold you picked up from each stage as to regain your health, increase stats temporarily, and so forth. In Destiny Mode, you are first allowed to customize your own character, in which there isn't that much of a selection. After creating your own character, you will be asked to join either Wei, Wu, or Shu.

While in this mode, you will be playing as a character with very few attacks (starting off with only 2 fundamental hits) and will be "protected" by your chosen officer above you. If you are hurt, you will be healed by him continuously if near. The best thing about this mode however is the fact that at times you can be allowed to betray one force, while setting a ruse for another. One example for a fact is receiving a letter from Cao Cao in which he asks for you to defect from Wu to Wei. You can respond to this by being on his side temporarily, and then move to a set position which will trigger a ruse, such as a large fleet of enemies suddenly attacking to support your "betrayal". 1 or 2 new challenge missions are available in Xtreme Legends as well. Overall, this is indeed one of the better Xtreme Legend expansions by Koei.
