| Made By: Konami
Release Date: Fall 2006
Hailed as the definitive Chess simulation for the formation, Konami's Chess Battle also includes a number of new gameplay modes and wireless connectivity, allowing users to play each other with ease. The classic game is also brought to life with superb 3D visuals, with extensive animated battle sequences used to show as key pieces are taken, Queens are lost and the King is finally cornered.
Konami's Chess Battle also features a unique story mode, which offers the player the choice of five different Chess sets. Set in an ancient world, five distinct regimes are vying for tactical supremacy over their foes. These factions - magicians, an aquatic race, cybernetic beings, forest spirits and servants of chaos - are represented by different Chess pieces and use different animations to show them taking and losing pieces. The story mode also features hidden story elements that can be unlocked by completing pre-set tasks.
In addition to the 3D option, Konami's Chess Battle allows users to view the game in the more traditional 2D, top-down view, and hardened players will revel in the 'Speed Chess' option which ups the pace and move all the pieces on the board at once. The game uses the PSP's 'Ad Hoc' and 'Infrastructure' modes to facilitate multi-player tournaments via the Internet, and players can participate in a single match or enter an online tournament which will track the ratings of the world's best players.

Amazing of Konami to figure out that if they're going to rip off Battle Chess (old Amiga game), they may need to give it a new name - I wonder how long it took them to come up with Chess Battle... :-)

This reminds me of Battle Chess. That was the first video game I ever played in my life. It came on this MASSIVE disk...good times.
EDIT-Damn, I didn't see someone already mentioned Battle Chess. How the hell was I beaten to that?edited: Jan 26 2006

i like chess, but judging at how most video gamers these days arent interested in board games etc i think this will be the only chess game coming out.
Ill rent it and tell you guys if it is worth buying, if worst comes to worst you can still play chess with your freinds at home etc

I love chess. I can beat almost anyone, but I'm not that good (answer: I'm not exactly surrounded by geniuses). That'd be cool to hone my skills on something that isn't going to cry after I blitz them in 4 moves.

I think the game sounds pretty good. The review says it has a 2d view for those not wanting the battle part. All in all I look forward to this one. Only question is whether or not enough other people will have to ever get multiplayer going.
