Romance of the Three Kingdoms 9!!!!

Either today or tomorrow we should see this title from Koei hit the stores. I personally will buy this game even though I have little time to play games lately. It's definately a must have for any ROTK fan IMHO.

So any ROTK fans out there waiting for this title besides me?

Is this one for PS2?

I got ROTK VI for the PS One. It sucks. The combat was a HUGE step backward in my opinion, and I had only played ROTK I and III prior to this. III's combat was good; I liked the grinding noise melee battles would make.

Oh well. I'll get around to selling VI sooner or later, and then look forward to other incarnations when I finally get a PS2 (for the kids, of course).

Yes this one is for PS2, north american release. I have a PS2, bought it for the kid of course At least that's what I told my wife. Too bad I have to wait for her to go to bed before I can setup the console to play. Hence the limited gaming time.

I agree ROTK VI wasn't that good but ROTK VII for PS2 was a good game. Stay away from ROTK VIII because nothing earth shattering with that one.

I'm checking my local Gamestop/EBGAMES tomorrow to see if the game (ROTK IX) is in.

Wow, this is great as I loved this game. Too bad I won't get to play it as my wife would never let me near "her" PS2.

I played the original, III, and VI. IMO, the first one is still the best one with a nice simple elegance.

I fondly remember 1-4 on nintendo. They were excellent games. I didn't know they were still making them. Koei was always one of my favorite vendors. I would sometimes buy one of their games, just because it was a Koei.

I was like that too rah.

I had just about every Koei game for NES and SNES. Koei is the only reason why I bought PS2 over Xbox.

From what I read about RTK IX it seems to call back to the old games where you were just in charge of the leader of your country.

I remember that Ming and I would have contests to see how few turns it would take to win. We were down to less that 6 turns on a couple of them.

[bipolarbear]

God these games suck! why do they keep making them, actually, wehy do they keep selling? I know x-play has stupid jokes and wht not, but they were right on in theri review!

Different strokes for different strokes.

Nice to see there's a fellow loyal Koei fan out there. If they come out with a version of Uncharted Waters for PS2, I'm in. Dynasty Warriors III and IV are such killfest .

Really? Though I have to wait for a PC version to come out first.

I don't think KOEI does PC versions of their games anymore. At least not in English.

[Urban Ranger]

I saw the PC version of RotTK VI not that long ago... in Chinese.

That's not going to help
