We were able to play through some of the Asian levels, and we saw battles atop the Great Wall itself (and thanks to the game's graphics engine, you'll see battles raging on sections of the wall further down at the same time), as well as battles in lush, green bamboo forests. As you'd expect, the enemies and monsters took on an Asian theme, and we battled various evil spirits, as well as yeti-like monsters and primitive human beings along the mountainous parts of the Silk Road. The level of detail is pretty incredible throughout the game, but it really comes to life in the Asian environments. Zoom in close, and you'll see roosters atop houses, or you may see the shadows of leaves swaying on the ground. Surprisingly, while you might expect this Asian setting to appeal to Asian gamers, the opposite is true. The folks at Iron Lore told us that many Asian gamers find European settings appealing, whereas the opposite is true for Western gamers.
