Reception

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]
