Medieval - Total War

Graphics and gameplay are good. Visuals are nice. Intricate. Clunky to load on XP Pro. Overall - my son loves it. That's really all that matters!

NEW AND SHINY (nothing else)

As someone who has played previous games in the Total war series i must say that nothing new is to be expected from this game. Its offers new factions and some cool units plus the usual backround info they give that gives you a nice insight to what weapons they used back in the medieval to early Renaissance periods.

Its requires some beefy requirements to play it properly because you just cant play the game on super low settings. I would recommend having at least a 7800GT to play this game 1.5 Gigs of RAM and 2.8ghz processor dual core is better than single because this game supports multi-threading.

The multiplayer is not worth your time in my opinion its just not fun and not meant for a Strategy Game.

I give this game a 10 for graphics/audio 6 for interface but a 4 for creativity. They did nothing to improve the game its the same as ever but it will still entertain for hours.

The Grandest of Strategy games

How many games do you know where your political machinations include plotting the assassination of the Pope so as to be able to elect a pontiff more favorable to your own faction? It's not just because the in-battle graphics are the best you've ever seen in any strategy game, it's not that you can influence the life course of your individual family members by the kinds of actions they take in of off the battlefield, it's not that you can become an economic powerhouse by deploying an army of merchants to conquer markets and put competing merchants out of business for good, what makes this game truly grand is the diplomatic warfare in which all of this is shrouded.

Military might is important, but not necessarily primordial. Have a giant, all-engulfing, land-hungry neighbor that threatens your national security? No problem. Assassinate the current Pope, elect one that's favorable to you and not so much to him, find a way to get him to be excommunicated and ask the pope to call a crusade against him! Now you'll have five or more other factions attack him in the name of Holy religion and he'll be weaker as a result. You may even manage to expand your borders in the bargain.

Now, you may just be one of these people for whom this will be insufficient. Maybe the 21 different playable factions don't quite do it for you. Maybe the different roles your agents (priests, assassins, spies, diplomats/princesses, and merchants) can play don't impress you. Maybe you don't care much for the guilds that offer to quarter themselves into your cities. This is where the Kingdom campaigns come in. All of them are beautiful mods of the original game with a variety of interesting twists. But even without the expansion, this game is worth buying. This said, allow me one warning: stay away from this game if you are addiction-prone.

Very Fun

I have version 1, and the upgrade was worth it. I hesitated until I got Rome Total War and thought, well that is a great improvement, MTW2 should be awesome. And it is and was. I am still hooked on RTW so I will play this more later. Good job, good buy.
