The boardgame "Risk" meets "Battle Chess" and on a nice-sized screen doing 1080p, this game looks pretty slick! The characters are awesome and if you can combine the right ones within the same area on the map, they'll interact through very humorous dialogue and sometimes they'll even get together! At the start, your options (available "Policy Cards") are very limited and this hinders gameplay somewhat, but once you start to expand your empire, you get access to new policies such as "Provoke Enemy" into defecting certain key figures or breaking off completely from their ruling clan and joining your side. It's satisfying to coax an enemy state's major officers into joining your side, taking their armies with them, then attacking their former state and maybe using the policy "Capture" to snap up any officers that were not willing to be bribed earlier. I've only yet explored the "Empire Mode" of the game... and managed to unite all of Japan under a single clan... it's probably the most fun I've had on the xbox360 to date... I am impressed by the thoughtfulness that has gone into the creation of this title... especially with the subtle interactions between the main characters -- the stuff they say to each other is hilarious! 10/10 rating, no doubts!… Expand

I've really enjoyed this game. While not very advanced, I find the simplicity of the controls refreshing, as I don't have to mash buttons trying to find different combinations for attacks. The graphics aren't stunning, but the game has enough hook to keep me coming back for more. As a bonus, my son loves to play as well!

really very good you never get boring while unlocking the 4th weapon's or either unlocking the three special horse's and the co-op is great very good to play in the weekend with a friend!
