    With each installment, Koei and Omega Force are not reinventing the wheel; it's there, and it rolls just fine. They're smoothing it out, steadily working out the bumps and making the whole thing roll much more smoothly.

    Regardless of whether it's been done before and arguably done better, the game is reliable and solid fun.
