Fun, addicting, and diverse game play!
User Rating: 9.3 | Rome: Total War PC
Rome Total War overall is a great game. It breaks away from the traditional strategy games, much as the other Total War Games have. The Creative Assembly has done a great job with the graphics for this game. It could be the best looking strategy game ever. The only this game lacks is a map creator. The campaign is very good, and the 3-D Map with movement is very nice. The battle game play is very good, and it does not follow the traditional rock, paper, scissor type game. You really have to know strategy to win a battle. You can't just amass a huge army and kill everything. If you completely surround a Spartan Hoplite unit with cavalry, it will slaughter your cavalry, you won't slaghter it. you need to lure the Spartan Unit by one cavalry unit, and then flank the unit using your other cavalry. The fact that there a a lot of civilizations to play as in battle and in the campaign is good. You have a lot of variety in units and buildings. The only thing that I am disappointed by is that you can't do naval battles and control the ships, it is just automatically battled out. Overall, Rome Total War is a great game and is defiantly worth buying.
