Simply the best Western I've seen. I don't think anyone today could bring together such a fine cast and make a movie like this.
Everyone has already said so much about this great film, I don't know what else I can add!
Like I said, the cast and characters were so memorable (save for Robert Vaughn's silent character, 'Lee',who really did seem to fade into the woodwork when some personality was needed), the music is also, of course, unforgettable.
The movie wasn't filmed in any totally remarkable fashion, but with all it's other pluses, you really don't notice this.
Dialog was never cheesy or plain,and I have a boatload of quotes that I just love from this movie.
And, at a final note, for the females out there, like me, can you really say "no" to Vin (McQueen) and O'Reilly (Bronson), in loose buttoned shirts,perfect-fit jeans and Stetsons?
A great movie, with little bad language, and with the most bloody confrontation being the end battle between the 40 bad guys.
Get it!!

I received this gaming system as a Christmas present 2-3 years ago, and never once have I regretted getting it.
Boasting a wide variety of games, including some precious exclusive big winners like Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy X,X-2 and XII, and a couple Metal Gear Solid titles and more that I can't remember, it's my favorite over GameCube anyday.
Graphics are excellent, can't say I notice anything greater on GC (I don't have or know anyone with an Xbox, so. . .)
It has one of the best controllers around, I think, and it's a nice, sleek looking machine that has never once given me problems. Runs fairly quiet, and can usually handle quite a lot of whatever programmers throw at it-(If it couldn't, it'd be useless)
-Hard to dust, I notice, but that's a minor quibble when compared to all the pros of this awesome gaming console.

Ah. Zhao Yun's loud declaration rends the skies and sends bad guys stumbling backwards. And all 'cause you pressed the R3 button. :D The 'Announcement' feature may not be that much of an addition to the game, but it does come in handy, and it lets you see a little more of the personality in your character.

I've never played the past Dynasty Warriors, but from what I've seen and heard, DW4 is still my favorite, and I don't see the point of backtracking to lesser DW's.

To start;
Graphics aren't amazingly snazzy. (The ground is always flat with smudgy green stuff painted on it, with some pink thrown in for flowers)-but that's not really a big concern when you're character's out there flinging people around on the end of his spear. And there are a few levels where the have thick, brushy fields for your character to run through.
Lots of mountains everywhere in the background, usually discoverd only just as you come upon them, because the perpetual, but thankfully, soft fogs of war tend to cloud them to just blurry silhouttes.

Character animations and appearance are awesome. Each one has a distinct and interesting style, with equally vivid personalities.
The style and attention to detail when it came to characters is much more evident then with background details.

Gameplay is simple, fun and addictive. I mean, who can't admit to getting that sastified feeling when you're character is surrounded by milling bad guys, and all you have to do is press the 'O' button; VOILA! You're character breaks into a lightening and rippling energy decorated attack, spinning and slashing all over while bolts of white hit the ground around where he steps and your controller rattles in your hands.
Not to mention lots of bad guys have fallen. :D

Control set-up is nice, with one button for your characters solid normal attack. Throw in the triangle button, and your character makes his usual moves a bit more deadly (such as: knock enemy into air, jump up and knock enemy back down=major damage)
Also nifty little features like showing you the lifebars of all the people around you, or being able to switch maps mid-fight to let you know how many bad guys are around you.

You're sure to have a favorite Kingdom once you're into the game, because it's just inevitable. :)) There's always one character that'll catch your eye and make you want to play just a little bit longer.

Simple gameplay, fairly good graphics and loads of fun. One day I'll figure out what makes it so addictive; until then, I have to level up the rest of the 42 characters in DW4.

I don't know why everyone keep complaining about how confusing this book is, and how there are too many names or the adventures are all the same.
First of all, people did have names in the story, and there are more than two knights at the Round Table. In fact, there are 150, so occasionally, other knights MUST pop up in the story,and it's wise that they have names.
As for the adventures, I can't agree less. Each adventure is so skillfully written in this book, you are immediatly pulled in.
And each character is wonderfully brought to life from there less-described first days in La Morte D'Arthur, where you only had a few descriptions to go on.
Sutcliff expounds on those and more, and leaves you with memorable, believable characters, my especial favorites being the boisterous and hot-tempered Sir Gawaine, his handsome and noble brother Gareth and Merlin, who, instead of sounding corny and magical, just sounds like a very wise man who knows of the days to come.
Awesome variety of selections from the orginal King Arthur book(s), inlcuding the classics like Sir Gawaine and the Green Knight, Gawaine and the Loathly Lady (a humorous retelling), and my favorite: Beaumains, the Kitchen Knight.
All great stuff! However, if you are not into King Arthur, and you just picked this up because you're bored, I'm not sure how well you'll enjoy it. Obviously, the Round Table and King Arthur are a big part of this book, and since I notice a large number of people on here only read it and nothing else, it pays to read other King Arthur books as well as this one, to give you a bigger picture, and better appreciation for this fantastic retelling of the first 10 or so years of Arthur's reign.

-But still a worthy read.
Sutcliff captures the dark, dreary mood in the settings and descriptions of this book as Arthur slowly realizes Merlin's prophecy from the first book (Sword and the Circle); that one day, his reign would come to dismal end, is finally coming true.
While at times I felt kind of rushed during the story telling, I never lost interest and still felt the emotions of the characters very well.
In particular, Sir Gawaine, who,together with his youngest brother Gareth, have been my favorites ever since I first picked up an Arthur book.
After the loss of his brothers(a sad but unfortunatly fast part of the story), Gawaine's attitude is extremely believable, and well brought out from the more authoratative reading in La Morte D'Arthur.
And King Arthur's feelings and reactions to everything around him are also believable, as he becomes more embroiled in the war against Mordred (who is well portrayed as a slinky, sly man who loves to wear black capes and hangs around in doorways fiddling a peacock feather between his fingers. . .).
In very sad fashion, the book ends, much like the actual La Morte D'Arthur, leaving you wishing Camelot and the Round Table didn't have to crumble as sadly as it did in both Morte D'Arthur and Sutcliff's fine retelling.
Read this book,and the first two.
Then read La Morte D'Arthur. It will give you an even bigger picture, and a greater appreciation for this exceptional retelling of one of the greatest stories.
READ IT!!!
