About
If you want a large-scale historical war epic built around relentless battlefield planning and a major finale, Red Cliff II is likely for you; Not for you if you prefer grounded realism or short runtimes like Hero.
Pros: huge battlefield payoff; world-class battle scenes; compelling epic energy | Cons: long setup stretches; unbelievable/flashy moments; heavy spectacle over realism
