    The storyline is engaging, and commanding an elephant to tromp through units and trample people is pretty hard to beat.

    If DW3 was the video game equivalent of "Braveheart," then Kessen II is Kuroswawa's "Ran" -- just a little more meat in your dish.

    The gameplay is ironclad; however, a few presentation problems hold the title back. [Dec 2001, p.250]

    This game rocks on! I'm an aussie and i think it covers every strategy type, but it should be more like Dynasty Warriors 2! That's the best strategy game ever! Like others, i would say it needs a two player mode, but it would be great if you could control the Wu empire instead of Shu and Wei!… Expand
