Kessen I and III are much more accurate than the SW games. Kessen II has a lot of historical inaccuracy:

-Liu Zhang did not ally with Cao Cao and never knew him as a child
-Zhang Fei did not kill Xiahou Yuan
-Wu obviously did not submit to Wei
-Sun Quan's sister wasn't called Sun Li
-Cao Cao wasn't Liu Bei's brother
-The love triangle and Diao Chan is complete bullcrap
-Himiko has absolutely nothing to do with this
-Zhuge Liang was not a sorcerer
-Liu Bei did not defy the Mandate of Heaven
-There was no Mei Sanniang

There's a list of other errors, Kessen III:

-Yamaguchi Samanosuke died during the unifications of Owari, which was much earlier than his death date in the game
-Mitsuhide didn't kill Ishiiki Fujinaga
-Otani Yoshitsugu had nothing to do with Nobunaga and wasn't even known in Oda's lifetime
-Shimazu Yoshihiro didn't betray or meet Nobunaga for that matter

Again, there are still a bunch of things I missed out. But I like how they included foreigners like Amalia van Kyre and that other Portugese mercenary in the game. I'd have to say Kessen II was the least accurate while Kessen I provided us with the best historical accuracy out of the three, I would've liked Kessen III better if it ended at Honnoji with Nobunaga dying.
