Basically, people are too critical when it comes to games! I'd say this game could use a little more options, but i believe it is really well made and put together beautifully! I love the war, and how u get to control thousands of men rather than just 1, 2, 3 or 4...This game was really fun, and suspenseful. I hope number 3 is like it, only better!

Kessen is terrible!

This is the worst game I've ever purchased and I still get upset thinking about the money it cost me. Please save your money and the frustration by skipping this one.

This game is terrible!

I am a fan of strategy games and was really looking forward to playing Kessen. However, this game is the worst game I've ever purchased. In fact, I'm furious with myself that I wasted my hard earned cash on this game without renting it first. I personally didn't find the graphics that great, the game was too easy, and the pace was exceedingly slow. Don't make the same mistake I did, avoid this game and save your money.

Good game

Kessen is Risk of the East. It's a great concept with exceptional graphics. The game play is slow but so is war. If you've got the time to play it this game is a good buy.

NOT VERY FUN AT ALL!!

this is definitely not the game you will want if you are looking for an exciting, entertaining game, which i think most people want. it has pretty good graphics, but it is pretty boring after the first hour after you have played it because all you do is the same thing, over and over and over again. i am sorry i wasted my money on this game because it was a TOTAL waste!

Great Game!

No matter what everybody is saying, if you like to control a war and you like to think a little this is a great game. I never liked stratigy before but now its a lot of fun. Rent this game if you like buy, but it takes one or two battles to figure out how to get the controls and the stratigy.

One Word: Awesome

This is a truly wonderful game and I would like to start off by saying: Shawn D. Crapman of were ever they heck you are from you suck! You have no taste in games at all! This game is probebly the best(one player) PS2 game out there. Worth 50 bucks! Just make sure you have enough free time...

Unplayable

When I started playing this game the first thing that hit me was the terrific battle scenes that were displayed in the well done opening credits and the very similar feel that the game had to romance of the three kingdoms. Unfortunately after game play began all my hopes for the game deteriorated into a free-for-all of unrealistic combat between armies that I had little to no control over. I had hopped to be able to have some amount of control over the game but instead I found myself watching volley after volley of animated musket fire and screaming at the computer to let me do something. Somehow I managed to beat my way through most of the game despite having no concept of the controls.

This game is not worth any amount of money, if you wish to play it find a friend and play his copy, renting is simply too much money.

Cut scenes are nice the first 10 times

I recently bought this title and have been very disappointed with it. The parts of the game where you actually 'play' were simply a few colored blobs on the screen. The cut scenes are tiresome and the movies reminded me of a bad anime movie. I would not recommend this game to anyone.

A step sideways...

Koei are most well known for their amazing Romance ofthe Three Kingdoms games. Most people were turned off by the complexities of the games, but those who liked a good strat. game haven't stopped hailing it as the best war sim series ever to hit consoles. This game seems like it's trying to appeal more to the average gamer, as opposed to the sim freak fanbase of the RTK games. What it does, it does well, with beautifully rendered troops and amazing cutscenes. The game is dragged down to 3 stars by the simplicity of it, with little control of the actual battles being given to the user. Not one that will keep you up for a week, but easily the best PS2 game I've played thus far and the cream of the US launch title crop. Don't expect another RTK game, but also expect to have fun. Pick it up if you've got a PS2, this one is a keeper!
