Xbox-exclusive sci-fi Musou developed by Koei. Mass gameplay in a space universe, aliens to eliminate in hordes. Unsurprising for genre fans but decent in execution. For Musou fans seeking a sci-fi setting on Xbox.

Collector interest

European PAL pressing of Crimson Sea, the Koei space action-RPG, rarer than the American version owing to reduced European distribution for this niche Japanese title. The PAL disc completes the game's Western gallery and is the hardest piece to assemble for fans of the action by the Dynasty Warriors team. Desirability rests on that print imbalance in favor of PAL and on the title's general scarcity on the Xbox.
