 Not "Great" September 27, 2009
Daniel J. Plaat
I Love The Total War Games, and the first expansion for Rome well, expanded the game. This however, does not. For one, you can only play as the Macedonians, and there's a 100 turn limit which made me feel like I was playing a demo. I can tell Creative Assembly put this out right as they were puting all their effort into Medieval 2. Not enough content for a pass.

I was less than impressed with this expansion. It has pretty much the same game play as Rome Total War but in this version you can only choose one faction. Also you can only play as long as Ceaser stays alive. I have played campaign one time and did not enjoy it. He did not die in battle but the next turn it said he had died. I haven't played it since because you can't choose anther faction.
 Exactly what it says - ADD ON! June 27, 2008

The game is not an Expansion, it is an "ADD ON". No new stuff for the other two versions. Its a tough fight and well done. I can understand why some would expect more. It could have had more in it. The prices on Amazon are way to high (sorry guys) Try eBay, I got mine for $10 plus shipping.
Fun...but I would save my money May 6, 2008

I have been very impressed with the Total War series thus far. I was so excitted to buy all the expansion packs to Rome:Total War because I was so taken back by the graphics and the overall game play. I subsequently went out and bought the expansion Alexander. I was not hugely impressed with the game. The Persians seemed a little easy to defeat and the legendary Immortals were easy to kill, probably why the Macedonians conquered the Persians.
If you are a fan of the series, go with the Barbarian Invasion or invest in one of the other Total War games.
Very Total War Like, not impressive but fun for campaign fans April 18, 2008

I purchased the Alexander Expansion first online which had turned into a nightmare situation due to installation issues. WARNING: don't buy the trymedia copy, you WILL have installation problems. Anyhoo, This Game is very much for me, I am not one of those Historical Battle fanatics, I like to create my own history within my campaign games, and thus, I found the new complexity of factions interesting as well as the unit variety colourful. I recommend to all Total War Round Campaing players
