This is quite possibly the greatest game of all time.
The gameplay, sound, and value are excellent. The only thing that needs improvement is the graphics. That’s a hard thing to judge this game by because of the many, many different characters and scenarios. But I will warn you, many of my friends don’t like this game, and they would probably be considered your “typical gamers”, who don't enjoy a challenge and don't have the patientce for a longer game. So I’d say to rent or borrow it first, but to definately consider Romance of the Three Kingdoms X.
