Looking for a good hack 'n slash

For pure hack & slash, I think a Dynasty Warriors game would suit fine. Don't expect a whole lot of subtlety or nuance to the gameplay, but for pure, pg-13 carnage, it can't be beat, in my opinion.

I don't really consider the games listed as "pure" hack and slash- Prince of Persia, Assassin's Creed, and God of War I know entail a lot of platforming, though I haven't ever played a Devil May Cry game. Not that they aren't all quality games, but they aren't really all hack and slash is all.

DMC is all about hack an slash, or atleast from what I remember. I second the Dyanst Warriors nomination.

Assasins creed. provided me with many hours of challenging gameplay, not to mention fun gameplay.

Stealth? In MY Hack 'n' Slash? YOU BEST BE JOKING.

DW is a lot of fun, playing on the keyboard hurts a bit though.

I don't disagree that its a fun game, its just not really a H&S.

Well, I dunno, these games (Assassin Creed included) are described as Hack 'n slash in my country. I know this one and Prince of Persia don't have a lot of hacking and slashing, but you still have to run around with a sword and kill some bad guys with nice-looking moves.

I don't really mind the plateforming part of those. From what I've seen, running on walls and doing cool stuff like that looks pretty awesome.

I tried Dynasty Warriors on PS2, and to say the least, I think it was terrible. Smashing the same 2 buttons to kill half a thousand guys who just look at you without trying to hurt you is not my definition of fun. That, and the voice-acting was the most ridiculous I've ever heard. I liked the Lord of the Rings games on PS2, too bad there's not a PS3 version of those.

I just heard about Edge of Twilight. The game seems really nice and fancy, and I like the steampunk background. But apparently, the game won't be released anytime soon.

Your kidding right? Best acting ever!

"ITS LU BU!!!!"

"RAWR IM LU BU, IM GUNNA KILL YOU FOOLS etc etc"

Then you button smash. That IS a H&S. Some characters aren't fun to play, but I cant get tired of the cool looking moves...

Again with the voices:
As they said in futurama "You can't just have characters say how they feel. That makes me angry!"
