The PS2 version struck me as simply, and unfortunately, subpar. ![]() While the old games in the series are legendary, this latest PS2 installment doesn’t seem to have done the basic gameplay of the series any favors. ![]() The Romance series has been running since the NES days with only minor alterations to the basic spirit and thrust of the gameplay, catering to a group of die-hard fans on a variety of platforms. It sounds very broad and epic, but for the most part, the gameplay doesn’t live up to the titles potential. Those titles center on using tactics to get through a single battle at a time Romance has you carefully plotting the course of a single soldier’s lifetime and the destiny in kingdoms. Games like Romance of the Three Kingdoms X make it plain how badly we game journalists misuse the term “strategy game” when we apply it to titles like Disgaea and Final Fantasy Tactics.
