Story Review: The assessments of the story really vary, for those that are after something true to history will be very disappointed, even offended by this fantasized spin off of the famous “Three Kingdoms” story. Having said that it does share some relations to history, the armies are pretty much spot on, as are when various officers join you, just the main line of the story is well off the history trail. If you can cast the main line of the story our of your expectations, or simply do not know the Three Kingdoms history you will find it enjoyable, full of drama and fascinating events. 7.5/10


Honestly, I'd rate the stories higher. The characters, cutscenes and everything were just what you'd come to expect from Kessen games-Great. Liu Bei staring at Mei's breasts, Zhuge Liang's quiet humility, Pang De bringing his coffin to battle, Yu Jin in general, Meng Huo and his army doing a dance and then calling it quits all=awesome. The only disappointing thing was Diao Chan. Everytime she talked through that crystal ball I wanted to throw a rock at my tv or something.

Yeah it may be disappointing to history buffs, but I don't care that much about that. Most of the people who play it probably don't know crap about the three kingdoms.

Anyways, good review, and thanks for reviewing one of Koei's other great games.
