Reception

IGN praised the length and depth of the game, saying it "packs literally hundreds of hours of play time on its single disc", but criticised the pace of the game, saying players will "have to endure an almost relentless level of tedium." and "It will bore to tears most of the jump cut-addled, MTV-watching, Ritalin-popping masses due to a sometimes excruciatingly slow pace." [ [http://uk.ps2.ign.com/articles/850/850886p1.html] ] Gamespot had a similar view, "The strategy is complex and rewarding, but the menu shuffling and extremely slow pace won't earn the series any new fans." [ [http://uk.gamespot.com/ps2/strategy/romanceofthethreekingdomsxi/review.html] ] Games Radar emphasised that "Kingdoms XI" would mainly appeal to fans of the series, "...addicts that have kept up with the series and crave more of its rare gameplay will eat it up. Gamers that have never cared about or have never heard of the series don't have any reasons to give it a whirl." [ [http://www.gamesradar.com/ps2/review/romance-of-the-three-kingdoms-xi/a-20070213174027564040] ] 1UP.com called the game's learning curve "intimidating" even for veteran strategy gamers, but praised "the top-notch writing, nifty historical setting, and unique aesthetic", claiming "the game gives you everything you could want from a turn-based tactics extravaganza."
