Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI is certainly a solid turn-based strategy game, but it feels tired because it covers the exact same territory as its 10 predecessors-four of which were released on the PlayStation 2 in as many years.

But at some point it gets hard to muster up any sort of anticipation for the next title in a series that peaked about five releases ago.

Whether it's Madden, Final Fantasy, or Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you have to respect a game series with releases numbering in the double digits, because it's a milestone that so few franchises reach.
