A fantastic game that should appeal to anyone who wanted to be a King.
User Rating: 8.8 | Medieval II: Total War PC
"Epic" has always been a fair adjective used in describing the Total War series. Be it fedual Japan, ancient Rome, or the Middle Ages the Creative Assembly has always managed to cram a whole lot of game into a, um, rather large amount of hard drive space. But I digress. This game, the second go round for the Middle Ages theme, is completely worthy of the Total War name. Be it the huge number of factions (From the Scots to the Mongols), the massive battles (Like watching a movie...with more destruction), cutthroat diplomacy (Wooing away an enemy's top general with your own inbred princess) the options and fun are endless. So far I've got a "dominant" rating as playing as Spain and I actually felt like an ancient faction leader guiding my bloodline through the ages. Yet, for all of the turn based glory, Total War's biggest attractor is its huge battles. And, boy, are they huge. Hundreds of units fight and die in new ways, and with the additions of night attacks (Well it was a Rome expansion...but) the chaos takes a beautiful new turn. Bottom line? If you like strategy, or war, or knights princesses or the Middle Ages check out this game. Its worth every cent.
