| Dynasty Warriors: Mahjong (Jan. Sangoku Musou), this game is one of Koei’s game it is played like playing Mahjong for those who don’t know Mahjong:
Mahjong is a game for four players that originated in China. It is a game of skill, strategy, intelligence, calculation and luck. Depending on the variation which is played, luck can be anything from a minor to a dominant factor in success.
The object of the game is to build complete suits (usually of threes) from either 13 or 16 tiles. The first person to achieve this goal is said to have won the game. The winning tile completes the set of either 14 or 17 tiles.
There are many variations of mahjong. In many places, players observe one version, and are either often unaware of other variations, or claim that other variations are incorrect. Although many variations today differ only by scoring, there are several main variations of Mahjong.
• Chinese Classical Mahjong is the oldest variety of Mahjong, and was the version introduced to America in the 1920s under various names.
• Japanese Mahjong is a standardized form of Mahjong in Japan, found prevalently in video games. In addition to scoring changes, the rules of riichi and dora are unique highlights of Japanese Mahjong.
• Western Classical Mahjong is a descendant of the version of Mahjong introduced by Babcock to America in the 1920s. The evolution of Mahjong in America led to American Mahjong. Today, this term largely refers to the Wright-Patterson rules, used in the U.S. military, and other similar American-made variants that are closer to the Babcock rules.
• American Mahjong is a form of Mahjong standardized by the National Mah Jongg League and the American Mah-Jongg Association that has the greatest divergence from traditional Mahjong, with the introduction of Joker tiles, the Charleston, as well as melds of five or more tiles, and eschewing the Chow and the notion of a standard hand. Because of this divergence, the NMJL and AMJA variations is commonly referred to as Mahjongg. Purists of Mahjong claim that the divergence from standard Mahjong makes American Mahjong not a "true Mahjong", and thus should be considered a separate game in and of itself.
Other variants include Fujian Mahjong, Taiwanese Mahjong, Vietnamese Mahjong, and Filipino Mahjong.
I played this game and the game was played in Japanese Mahjong style. I think it would be nice to play this game in English I played the Japanese version of Dynasty Mahjong and I was impressed since I’m sorta a big fan of mahjong.
The games graphic…. Well I can’t say much since there kind of only got the characters. I’m not sure but when I play mine there was no map. And the games soundtrack has the same Dynasty Warriors soundtrack but added some news one that I never heard before.
Dynasty Warriors: Mahjong was said that it will not come out in America and there will be no English Version of it. So I’m guessing if you want to play this game you will have to play in Japanese. For all Mahjong fans out there this is game is a must buy got you, it’s wicked cool! |
