Review by Richard on 25th November, 2007
5 stars "Huge scale battles like no other"

The scale of this game is amazing! If you have a pretty grunty PC with lots of memory and a good graphics card it's a brilliant game. It takes aaaaaaaages to conquer the work so don't expect to clock this game in a hurry. The detail on individual units is superb for the number that are in the game. It's not just about the battles either, if your into more of an economy/spy/di­plomacy base strategy game this will be right up your alley.
I have had it for quite a while now and still have a lot of game time left with this title.

You can adjust number of units in battle, detail and a number of other things which make the game experience really amazing provided you have the hardware.

Great game.

5 stars "The Current Pinacle of Stategy Gaming"

Total war has long been the best experience in both real time and strategy gaming.
Since Rome Total War I have been enthralled with this series.

Medieval Total war introduces a staggering campaign of immense possibilities with so many different Units and strategic as well as tactical choices.
The game looks brilliant even for its age, with a DX10 card and a reasonable processor, it barely stresses your system except during massive army encounters.
The only bad point about this game is eventually you learn that the AI can be a little retarded in places, not really taking advantage of some blunders you make. Saying that however they can surprise you and shock you with their ruthless nature.

I would highly suggest patching this game upon purchase, it makes a lot of bugs disappear.

I would suggest this game to anyone with an interest in history and a passion for both real time and turn based gaming. Its the perfect game to learn strategies and keep your mind going when you stop playing!
