Rome Total War is one of those games that will keep you playing it for years to come, despite it being from a few years back. Starting out in the tutorial would be a smart choice, as this game is quite intricately made. Once you have got basic gameplay down, playing the game obviously comes next. You can select from a few different modes when playing Rome: Total War. First is quickplay, which puts you in a randomly set battle of your difficulty choosing. Then comes custom battle, which allows you to set a vast amount of factors that will affect gameplay, as well as choose your faction and units and ditto for npc enemies / allies. The main venue of Rome is campaign mode. Choose your faction, and get ready. You will start out as a small cluster of provinces in the melting pot of Europe, North Africa, or the middle east, depending on your faction. You are then set free to begin expanding your city states to the greatest empire of its time. This will be no easy task though. Your empire will be tested non-stop to see if it has what it takes to rival Rome's imperial magnificence. Throughout the near 400 year time period of gameplay, you will endure revolts and uprisings within your kingdom, invaders who want everything you have, plagues that can wipe out cities and their economies, and assassination plots against the royalty of your land.

But don't get too distressed and think that the game is out to kill you. The advanced diplomacy system allows you to open up trade with far off and distant lands, become allies with other budding nations, ask for assistance in wars against you enemies, and many more diplomatic choices. You will also have the chance to conquer territory. You will start by building new buildings such as cavalry stables and barracks to start expanding your armies. Use a good general of yours to command the soldiers, and wreak havoc through enemy territory. Harass enemy trade routes, lay sieges to enemy cities, and should you capture the settlement, exterminate the populace to quell any resistance against your cause, along with other options.

Rome: Total War has an immense amount of different units to choose from too. Use Roman Triarii to conquer the masses, or if you prefer speed use Egyptian Chariot Archers to kill the enemy from a distance. From Barbarian Naked Fanatics and haunting Druids, to Eastern War Elephants and Scythed Chariots, to the prestigious Greek Hoplites taking form of the great phalanx, Rome Total War has the best variety of anything around. Couple all this with amazing graphics that immerse you deep into the gameplay, you may think that you are actually there, back in time. Anybody who who likes excellent strategy, or just epic battles with plenty of fighting should buy this game. It would be a historic mistake not too...
