User Rating: 9 | Kessen II (PlayStation 2 the Best) PS2
By StaticSoldier7 | Review Date:
I love it . This game is simply great to me, but then again, there different kinds of gamers out there. For example i like to take my time and think things out when playing games, but one of my friends loves charging in all guns blazing. Let me tell you this. This is not one of those games. Kessen II has stategy where it lacks action. It has tactics where it lacks adventure.

All the battles are carefully laid out so you must always be on the lookout for traps or ambushes (they can be laid). Though this game is all about war, you rarely ever charge in all guns (spears!) blazing. You have to think it out e.g. "is he strong enough for him?" or "does she need reinforcements over there?". True, this game is very linked to Dynasty Warriors, but the gameplay is unbelievably different.

One thing that cannot go amiss in this review are the well-sculpted characters. The characters are very imaginitive and have obviously had a lot of thought put into them. Another thing that astounds me are the special abilities. Ranging from climactic duels to earth-shaking fire snakes, they all entertain me to no end.

In conclusion, Kessen II should not be missed out. This game is the best in the series and is well worth its money. But be warned, if you're more of a Call of Duty'er, then you should veer less this way and something more "in your category". An excellent 9 out of 10

    Game Play: 9/10 This real time strategy game is very fun and addictive. Instead of wasting time building units and sending specific groups of them into battle, which most RTS games are like, you jump right into the batt... Read Full Review
