The best of the total war series? November 19, 2009
Alex Dawson
I've played many games from this genre, starting with the original Lords of the Realm 2 (though I guess it's not original is it's a sequel...). I've played shogun TW, Medival TW, Rome TW, and now Medieval 2 TW. It's good to be able to say there has been steady improvement thorughout the series. The game will take a long time to play through. And if you move too slowly and conservatively you may even lose. One of the thnigs I found annoying was when your empire reaches a certain size, one day people decide to just be unhappy. It gets annoying when all your cities are almost revolting back home even with full garrisons and low taxes etc., and you're trying to fight a war elsewhere. It adds realism though, which is good. I found the game a bit more challenging than Rome TW, but it moves a little slower and funds are more scarce. I wish it had Pirates! style naval combat, but you'll have to get Empire TW if you want an approximation of that. Overall an enjoyable game that keeps you interested for quite some time.
 Solid game October 26, 2009
Michael E. Dishaw
So far I have been completely satisfied with the game. The graphics are solid, the game is playable with a lot of different factions and unique units for each faction. I am looking forward to playing through with some of the ones you can't right when you start.
The last Total War product I purchased was Rome:Total War and this game has all the same great ingredients and then some. If you have played any of the other Total War titles and are looking for another strategy game, I would suggest it.
Amazing Stratagy Game September 19, 2009
Alvaro
This game is an amazing improvement on Rome: Total War. The graphics have been ramped up quite a bit, and even set on full speed the game isn't jumpy. The armor, weapons siege equipment, and horses look amazingly realistic. The siege equipment is one of the biggest improvements over Rome -- there are about 10 types and each of them look amazing, from the trebuchet to the monster bombard to the rocket launchers from the Far East. Prior to engaging the armies (which can number over 1200 men) I find it enjoyable just to zoom up and see the soldiers marching. The campaign is equally enjoyable. Managing an empire has never been this fun. Between choosing ways to maximize your cities' monetary output and produce large armies at the same time it's impossible to play the same campaign twice. With the Kingdoms expansion the game only gets better. There are 4 new campaigns and each has at least 5 different nations to play as. That's 20 campaigns right there. This game provides endless playing time and you will never get bored with this game.
A game to endure September 9, 2009
Hugo Villegas (Colombia)
With the same philosophy of ROME TW, just better. Far better graphics, including the proportions. Have you ever noticed how enormous the buildings are, compared to people, in ROME? This issue have been improved, as well as the lights, textures and motion of both man of foot and the horses.
The addition of the "Princess" agent is very welcome, as well as the "merchants" and "priests".
The playability is awesome, as well as the script, videos and soundtrack.
The only thing missing here was the old ROME feature of just checking out your town once in a while, without having to be in the middle of a battle just to see it.
A great addition, with the Kingdoms expansion, is the ability to give orders to your AI reinforcements in the middle of the battle!
You're going to need a mean machine if you're to actually enjoy the brutal realism of the battles, but it's worth the investment.
Truly terrific. :)
Beautiful! September 4, 2009

Great rts battes!
Campaign can be a little mysterious, which can cause frustration, but the mini campaigns in Kingdoms are much more thoughtfully constructed.
