I like the campaign of this game, but what i really wanted was thousands of units battling each other and thats what i got from this game. There were countless scenes where i thought i was watching a 3D animation of Kingdom of Heaven or Braveheart. You don't even need to do the campaign to get the most of this game, you can go online which is a lot of fun, there are custom battles but i do which you could make the terrain and how large your army is, anyway the historical battles are very accurate, the mongols when they invade is a very fun faction to fight and than you take the battles from the war worn Europe and Middle-East to the Americas which I think is already over the line for real-time strategy games. I can only imagine what this game would be like if the characters died with the realistic rag-doll effects. Anyway this is a must get game for people both who have played totalwar before and who are new to the series like me.
