After switching on the game, I hoped that the game would be a good one: which it was. However the difficulty of the game is your choice and I fear that if you set it to the easiest level(which I did) it will be far(and I mean far) to easy. However to myself, just the thought of conquest is good enough for me. The trick is to do exactly what Alexander actually did in HIS conquests. The historical battles are a bit annoying because you need to complete one before you can go on to the other. One huge, unfortunate feature of the game is that it is very quick, resulting in quick conquest. That means once you have completed (which I did in 3 hours) it you cannot play it again because you know what's going to happen whereas in the Rome Total War and Barbarian Invasion you have a longer campaign and choice of different factions. This leads me to my next point. The game Alexander is quite restricted;it lets you only play as one faction(the Macedonians) AND you have a time limit. But overall it is quite a good game and I would recommend it to Rome Total War fans and historical dudes who like this sort of thing(as do I). So thanks for reading my review and I look forward to writing more for Gamespot. BYE!
