    Better than any previous title in the Romance series, easily eclipsing the "Dynasty Tactics" and "Kessen" franchises, and trampling all over the "SimCity" and "Civilization" ports, KOEI's excellent simulation of Ancient Chinese diplomacy and warfare is worthy of every compliment we can shower upon it.

    Steep and deep. That means it's got a steep learning curve but the depth it reveals will be worth the effort.

    Won't win any new converts to the strategy genre, but it's a good game that ought to please devotees of the series.
