Second Look: Kessen II

Kessen 2 promises to be just as engaging as its predecessor, but unfortunately, there?s no U.S. release date yet.

Scheduled for release in Japan in February, Koei?s sequel to its wartime strategy game, which offered players a first-hand experience in ancient Chinese warfare, promises to be just as engaging. In Kessen 2, you?ll be able to cast destructive magic on opponents?plus, you?ll be able to control squads within your forces. Also, whereas in the first game battles consisted of about 100 characters, you?ll now be able to fight with over 500 soldiers. Given the PS2?s lack of strategy games, hopefully, Koei will decide to bring Kessen 2 stateside.
