In order of accuracy the series would be rated Kessen > Kessen III > Kessen II. Kessen II is a clear stand out for inaccuracies; absurd to the point of making Liu Bei & Cao Cao brothers, and making them fight over Diao Chan is quite a disaster. Although deeper into the game there are clear accuracies mixed in as well. Kessen I was quite historically sound, but I tend not to rate it as the gameplay was just short of crap and didn't interest me too much at all. Kessen III however is highly historically correct with a few variations to contribute further to the story such as Amalia etc who represent the foreign influence during the warring states and more obviously Nobunaga's dream extending beyond his death as Honnoji. Although unlike Shogun I felt it was a great addition and helped give closure to what Nobunaga's dream was, to unify the land and end the chaos. Amongst that we got scenes where both Ieyasu and Hideyoshi on separate occasions shown they had interest and the ability to lead further, so clearly the game had not forgotten the influence those two men had on the period either. For an historical and game blend Kessen III is by far the stand out, although for accurate history Kessen is the greatest of them. Kessen II I don’t really like to comment on in the historical area and rather focus on it’s awesome gameplay.
