    A valiant, yet only partially successful, attempt to bring Crusader Kings to PlayStation. The cumbersome control system holds it back. [Issue#14, p.91]

Dismayed to find out there's no create your own ruler. I don't want to play a campaign. I wanted a sandbox.

For instance, you need to hold L3 for like 2-3s to use an in-game cursor, or you need to hold R2/L2 for 2s to open up radial menus.
