Rome: Total War
The campain last for about a week if you play obsesivley and non-stop. You have to consider more than just having a massive army and killing everyone; you have to use spys, diplomats and, my favourite, assassins! One downer for the campain is the annoying advisers, but you can switch them off.
The on battle maps are amazing, all the troups are very organised, which is strange when you are the barbaric Germans. The effects of weapons are really fun to watch, espeacially the flaming rocks and arrows. The 3D maps are huge, but they are limited by the red line.
The graphics and the sound are very well made, I play on a laptop and the sound still comes out nice, clear, and realistic. The graphics are very nice and crisp, except when you zoom too close on a bridge, then you sought of go under water. The smooth textures are great, the only downside comes when you are in a battle that involves four or more armies, then you get some serious laaaaaaag!!
All in all I loved this game, I would recomend it to anyone who has played any Age of ... or ...:Total War games.
