Dynasty Warriors 5: Empires — Biggest Fish in a Little Pond | PlayStation2 (Warrior Wednesdays #5)

It's a new year and a "new" series as I return the game that began my admiration for the "Musou" series: "Dynasty Warriors 5: Empires!" I had hours of enjoyment creating custom characters — some wholly original and some influenced by others — and having them fight across ancient China in a desire to unify it, either as a benevolent leader or a malevolent dictator!
