"The ideal war game!"

This is a game for war game fans. Look no further if you dont like them. However if you like war games in the slightest then run out and grab a copy of this one.

Graphics are wonderful. Gameplay is superb. Controls are easy enough to learn one the tutorial is followed. Sound is perfect for this type of game; great music, and great sound effects. Fun factor is as high up as it gets. Replayability is high. Once you get into this title its like a great book; you just cant stop!

KOEI has a great thing going here and i think we can look forward to more great things as time goes on so we can all keep on smiling... its just going to keep on getting better.

If your not too sure about war games i would certainly suggest renting first; but i can promise all you war gamers out there that you can very safely pick this one up and you will thank me for the suggestion later.

I picked up this title for a pretty fair price but i would have been perfectly happy having spent full price for this one and i can not say that about too many games.

Its nice to see the amount of detail that has been put into this game. Apart from it being a ''game'' it will actually teach one a few things WITHOUT ramming boring history lessons down your throat. That may sound impossible but this game has done it. Every commander you see on both sides of the conflict are real historical figures that YOU get to command on the field of battle. If ever there were a war game that actually makes one feel like a supreme general, this one does just that!

This is a game that is easy to play yet takes some thought and practice to master. Games like this are one in a million these days, so this is yet another plus. This title has something for EVERYONE in war game land.

If you are one of those gamers who have been looking for that game that you have not yet tried; that game that you have been waiting for; that game that you just have not been able to find out there; then its time you opened up those eyes and take a peek at Kessen.

Many reviews have been made of this game, most good, some not, but it simply comes down to what kind of gamer you are. One thing seems evident from all the reviews: even some of the non-war gamers out there do like this one.

In conclusion i have to say that i can not recommend this one highly enough. If you try this one you will love it. Kessen has great parts, and the sum of those parts is even GREATER!
