What is the difference between the PS2 games, Dynasty Warriors 4 and Dynasty Warriors 4 Xtreme Legend?

DW4 works off the premise of a story mode, wherein you choose one of the 3 sides, and play each mission in the story, picking a character from that side to play as.

DW4:XL does not have the story mode at all. Instead, you pick a character and play as them in a fight that was significant to them (even if it was not significant to the flow of the war at all). Once you beat a mission, you can then replay it as anyone in the game (and all characters are unlocked at the start, unlike in DW4). DW4:XL has more Items, the items with levels can go to higher levels, and each character has an extra level for their weapon (which has max attack power and 4 items built into it). XL also has an encyclopedia feature that breaks down the historical story DW is based on, and has brief boigraphical information on every character in the game.

If you have both DW4 and DW4:XL, you can load them together and be able to use XL's items (and slightly improved graphics engine) to play the Story Mode from the orginial DW4.
