    Don’t let the dated visuals fool you here - this game is as deep and engaging as they come.

    This latest RTK game is the best yet, but the franchise long ago subscribed to the Madden philosophy- incremental changes to what is essentially the same game year after year.

    R3KX, with its lack of real challenge, story, or presentation values, is just not in any way a memorable game. Koei is capable of much better, as "Dynasty Warriors" and their upcoming PC title "Uncharted Waters" attests to.

    This game is the most complex and strategic that i have ever seen. Sure the interface is difficult to grasp at first, but that's why there are tutorial to explain everything the first time you go somewhere. You can do a lot of things depending on your style. I remark that those who gave it low grade all says they don't understand the game. Maybe they didn't try very hard because if they had, they would still be playing like mad! This game is far more addictive than any Civilization game for the pc. It's even more addictive than Master of Orion. But you do have to use your brain to remember a lot of things so for those who don't like to use their brains in a game, don't bother with this one.… Expand
