 GameSpy.com - Review
Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a 15-year-old franchise, of which this is the eighth installment, as conveniently indicated by the classy Roman numeral after the title.
Romance VIII's graphics are very much of the functional variety, drawn in old-school 2D and with very little animation, both figuratively and literally; if something's moving onscreen, it's a tiny sprite of a war unit or city dweller.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII is definitely not a game for everyone -- the sheer number of sound-alike Asian names alone will exclude the mouth-breathing segment of the population -- but it's an intensely satisfying and mind-bogglingly replayable game for those gamers willing to wallow in Asian history and pure strategy.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Simplified Chinese: 爆笑三国豔义; Traditional Chinese: 爆笑三國豔義; Pinyin: Sān Guó Yǎn Yì, also known as Little Ditty 'Bout Three Kingdoms) is an accurate account of a histor-iffic Chinese yaoi epic loosely based on the Japanese video game franchise, Dynasty Warriors, and Hollywood's Jackie Chan blockbuster, Rumble in the Bronx.
This highly unlikely tale of valor blah blah blah features the slapstick comedy of three wacky dudes who never manage to realize how frigging big China is and decide they want the whole slab of cheese for their respective selves.
Liu Bei trades three top generals for the first pick of the military draft and selects reclusive hermaphrodite, Zhuge Liang, to serve as his strategist for a salary of 40 million U.S. dollars with a 10 million dollar signing bonus (both very lucrative at the time).

 Romance of the Three Kingdoms X > Review
Now in its 10th outing, Romance of the Three Kingdoms has changed greatly since the NES era; no longer a pure stat-and-resource game, it is now impossible to “run the table” like that, since the game is far more story-laden and far more complex, almost reaching toward RPG-ish aspirations.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms used to be one of my favorite games.

 GamingWorld X - Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII Review
Thankfully, the Romance series has been one to learn from its mistakes, and by now the turn-based game flow is streamlined enough that nothing is more difficult then it needs to be.
The chief flaw, of few, that Romance VIII has, is that like sports games, most of the changes are minor and not really noticeable to anyone who didn’t play the hell out of the previous games in the series.
And, as always, anyone chronically afraid of having too much to keep track of will most likely find Romance too daunting a task to even approach But to those who ignore all that and are prepared to watch hours (and hours, and hours) disappear on end, Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII is your game.

Koei's 10th Romance of the Three Kingdoms game doesn't do much to mark the occasion, but it still offers the same esoteric war strategy experience that keeps dedicated fans coming back time and time again.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms X is set in the same period of Chinese history as the previous games, which are all based on the 14th-century novel by author Luo Guanzhong.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms X may not be quite the grand, celebratory leap forward you might expect from such an anniversary, but in keeping the gameplay familiar Koei offers perhaps the best reward to the longtime fans who have kept the series alive for more than 15 years.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX is the most recent installment of Koei's now long running series that spans over several different platforms.
The basic premise behind the game is to bring one particular faction to unify the country of China during the turbulent Three Kingdoms Era of the late 2nd and 3rd centuries AD.
Instead of controlling single character in a particular kingdom of disunited China (as was the style in the 7th and 8th installments), the player is in charge of an entire faction and all its armies and officers.
