Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3
Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3, développé par Omega Force et Koei et édité par Bandai Namco Entertainment, est sorti le 16 décembre 2010 sur PlayStation 3 et Xbox 360. Appartenant aux genres jeu de rôle et hack 'n' slash, ce titre s'inscrit dans une série lancée en décembre 2008 et propose de conserver les éléments appréciés des opus précédents tout en écartant ceux qui ne l'étaient pas, avec l'ajout de nouvelles fonctionnalités destinées à renforcer le sentiment d'une expérience de champ de bataille authentique. La durée de la campagne principale est estimée à environ trente-cinq heures et demie, tandis qu'une partie complétiste peut atteindre cent une heures. Le jeu a reçu une note agrégée de 67,09.
Côté accueil, la presse a salué l'orientation du titre vers les fans, NZGamer évoquant un contenu Gundam si abondant qu'il laisse des traces, et Game Chronicles recommandant l'achat aux amateurs de la licence et du style Dynasty Warriors. Certains joueurs regrettent toutefois que cette troisième sortie n'ait pas été à la hauteur de leurs attentes, tandis que d'autres, sans en faire une production AAA, y voient un jeu amusant réservé aux fans, tout en reconnaissant sa répétitivité.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« For fans of the series, it's a no-brainer. There's so much Gundam here I'm surprised it doesn't leave little Manga stains when you put it down. »
« If you're a fan of Gundam and some good old fashioned Dynasty Warriors action I definitely recommend buying Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3. »
« It's probably the best experience I've had in any Dynasty Warriors title to date. »
« It gets its hooks into you prompting you to return in drips and drabs. Fans will love it as ever, but if you've never experienced the world of Gundam or Dynasty Warriors, this is the perfect game to bring you into the series. »
« It deilghts in the moment-by-moment empowerment of piloting a 1970s vintage mecha in battle, the medium-term enjoyment of turning the tide of a battle through strategic thinking, and the long-view 'gotta catch 'em all' collecting loops. If you have never tried a Musou game before, this is where you should start. »
« But for fans, seeing Domon Kasshu beat the ever loving piss out of those pansies from Gundam Seed is just plain awesome. »
« We do think some critics (including one that rhymes with Spy Flee Hen) were a little too harsh to dismiss this one as a forgettable hack and slasher. There's some substance here, particularly if you're a fan of the old Mobile Suit Gundam series. And it is fun, especially when you get friends involved as a team. »
« But in the end it's just another Dynasty Warriors game at heart with a Gundanium exterior. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« I was really excited for this game, I really was. This 3rd outing for the series should have been their best, but sadly though it wasn't. Right from the get-go problems arose, from the cluttered HUD, levels that seemed really small when compared to other Dynasty games and Allied AI so stupid some missions were just difficult cause your ally would die quick thus ending your game. While some have praised the vast amount of mobile suit in the game they're all nearly useless as the have very little power, their guns do little to no damage and their combos are short. Only the Gundams and Ace machines are actually worth playing. The general story they're following this time also makes very little sense, with all the different characters and the ways they could have interacted how come the story is so lacking? The music is fair for the most part, although I found the game will usually only play 3 or 4 different tracks, which is weird when it has more than 20 to choose from. The character models in this game at least look great, but against the static and dull backgrounds it's not much a graphical leap forward. This game should have been the best of the series, sadly it falls short of even Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2. Maybe the next generation of consoles will have better offerings for stateside Gundam fans. »
« isn´t a AAA **** just fun, i like gundam, its for fans...repetitive? yes, no history? **** its **** whit a friends better................... »
« The game looks really great, and the sheer number of mobile suits and pilots to unlock and use will really please Gundam fans. However i found that the levels all felt the same and the mobile suits barring a few exceptions felt too similar too each other, thus creating a strong sense of repetition early on. This will be fun for Gundam fans but even then the gameplay could have atleast tried to be a little more ambitious, varied and creative. »
