Dynasty Warriors 3: Xtreme Legends (真・三國無双2 猛将伝, Shin Sangokumusou 2 Moushouden) was the first Xtreme Legends expansion pack to be released. The goal behind this and every other Xtreme Legend expansion is to add different scenarios and aspects of the time era, not otherwise seen in the title it is based on. The original Japanese title for Xtreme Legends is named in ode of Lu Bu's status as a formidable general, which is the reason why he is featured on this particular disc.

As with every Xtreme Legends expansion, all features within the disc are standalone, only retaining its own scenarios. However, data can be imported from the original Dynasty Warriors 3 disc using the "Load Original" option, allowing all the memory from that game to be available for access.

ChangesEdit

• Musou Modes for Other characters (with the exception of Fu Xi and Nu Wa)
• One new difficulty level: The "Very Hard" setting, which was later dubbed as "Chaos".
• Fifth weapons, which can be obtained in the Very Hard difficulty setting.
• The game introduces a combo rating system, where the player is given points for executing strings of continuous attacks.
• Four new Challenges, which include:

Speed Demon: Test how fast a challenge can be completed.

Balancing Act: A Challenge which has the player knock enemies off of a narrow bridge while attempting to prevent the enemy from doing the same.

Combo Mania: Utilizing the new combo rating system, the game tests how many continuous attacks the player can get.
