I thought this was going to be like Ghengis Khan for the original Nintendo, but on a grander scale.... it turned out to be more like chess on a grander scale. The graphics are alright, the game play is lame, and the movies are pretty much the same. It's not as advertised.

What a bore...

Alright, So i go throught Blockbuster looking for some interesting game to pop-out at me, and this cover just looks soooo Cool! So naturally the game must be! I mean with all that effort into the cover, the game has to be spectacular! Wow was I ever so wrong... The game is basically about 6 levels long and it is just about impossible to lose unless you have no idea about strategy at all. The game took me just a little over an hour to beat, which is saying a lot, cause I dont usually beat things fast. The only cool part about it was how you can use your different *forces* with different guys in sync... But, its just way to easy to beat. I guess if you just want something to make yourself feel good to say Hey! Im amazing at games! This is for you, otherwise you serious gamers out there wont appreciate it at all.

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.

Very long and boring

I did not like this game at all. It took for ever to get anywhere. It takes hours to finally win a battle and you can;t understand what you are doing. I suggest you do not buy this game. If anything rent it.

A VERY boring and cheesy history game that plays itself

Me and my friends were playing with my new PS2 console.I wanted to try Kessen a new game I bought.The beginning movie was cool I watched my one of my friends play it for a while...The nightmare begins.GOD I wished I had never wasted my money on that.... All the missions or whatever are just watch,watch and watch. All we did in that game was just watched some cheesy general fight another loser general and another and another. Okay now for the final conclusion. AVOID THIS GAME AT ALL COSTS do not rent,buy,borrow this nasty game it is ... a waste of 50 bucks.Buy Onimusha instead Good Graphics Better gameplay and you actually play it!

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!

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.

Borrow it for a couple of hours. This game is lame.

This game is definetly not for strategy game lovers. It has defined wars between 2 tribes, in which the blue tribe is better. The game doesn't allow any customization options or even level selection. It doesn't have the open end game like in AOE2 random game. There is no economical side to the game and the political side of the game is dictated.So u basically don't have to do anything except hit x to pass to the next scene. You can skip the repetitive video clips by hitting the triangle button. This game has a few good video clips but it just doesn't make up for the ... strategic design aspect of the game. This game couldn't be more poorly designed.

Very Dissapointed

First off the graphics and cutscenes are great, but I was very dissapointed with the gameplay and the easiness of the game. Ive had it for 3 days and beaten it entirely. Also I thought the graphics on the troop movement were not up to standard with the other parts of this game. Also I dont think that strategy within this game is as good as advertised. Great game for 12 y/o who dont like challenging games.
