I haven't even played DW7 yet. Sounds easy and boring though. Character interactions are generic.
6 isn't much better, though I did play that quite a bit.
One thing about 7, there are still a TON of clones. Like Sima Shi, Liu Chan, and other 'dagger' users are essentially the same, outside of their special EX moves (of which there are only 2, and I think only 1 'equipped' at a time).
This series peaked early, at DW3. Dynasty Warriors 3 I still play once in a while and when I played it in 2002 I was just stunned how addictive the game was. Couldn't believe the hours I was logging into a 'fighting' game, but really it had strategy / RPG elements mixed in. But what made it was that each character had a unique musou mode, unique enough moves, and the difficulty balance on Hard was just brilliant. Even now I play on Hard and it's a fun challenge.
So yea, I would play one of the older ones over those two. Can't say for sure about DW7 tho.
