"I haven't spent much time with strategy titles lately, so it took a while to get back on the horse, but once I got into the groove, explored all of the interface's features and settled into a gameplay pattern, I was rewarded with a fascinating, beautifully designed game that had me wanting to run home and jump back into the action. The enemy AI is a bit dodgy and the lack of a multiplayer mode is a serious flaw, but I can't think of a game I've played this year that has surprised me more than this one. Normally I uninstall a game as soon as I finish with it, but Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI will be on my hard drive for a long time to come."
