Game Overview

Rediscover an ancient civilization with an explosive history in this most stunning edition of Romance of the Three Kingdoms to date.

The Good

Deep, complex strategy, More than 20 unique scenarios to complete, Nice artwork.

The Bad

The pace of the game is painfully slow, Dense, menu-driven gameplay isn't for everyone.

The Bottom Line

Rediscover an ancient civilization with an explosive history in the eleventh edition of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Based on the 120 chapter novel that recounts the near collapse of China at the end of the Han Dynasty and the fateful events that followed during the 2nd and 3rd centuries A.D., the game features an artistic style evocative of classical Chinese ink- paintings, with debates and duels now rendered in real-time 3D animation. Players will need to dig deep within to prove themselves adept at both the military and political arts in order to bring China under one rule. More than 40 base commands give players the power to govern cities, manage their personnel, practice diplomacy, and much more.

The strategy is complex and rewarding, but the menu shuffling and extremely slow pace won't earn the series any new fans.

To get that sense of accomplishment, you'll have to endure an almost relentless level of tedium. If you have that kind of patience, by all means give the game a shot, but only if you have that kind of patience.
