Description

In Napoleon: Total War, aspiring generals have the chance to play as the legendary French general Napoleon Bonaparte or as one of his opposing factions. Battling through his three biggest military campaigns, the game will take you through Italy and Egypt, narrating the early years of the fearsome commander, while the third campaign will tell the story of his fateful drive towards Moscow and, ultimately, his showdown with the Duke of Wellington at one of the most famous battles of all - The Battle of Waterloo.

Napoleon: Total War expands on the successful Total War series by taking all the features from previous games such as the full 3D land and naval battles, the detailed campaign map, and an in depth diplomacy system and taking them a step further.

Review by Peter on 2nd June, 2010
5 stars "A well thought-out game that works !"
It works smoothly, plays logically, has realistic and well-researched historical content. Battle landscapes are varied and the combat effects are very good. Interest, and the ongoing challenges tend to keep me up late at night !

Review by Lucas on 19th July, 2010
5 stars "brilliant game"
When I first played empire total war I was dazzled. Now Napoleon;s out and I happily purchased it.
The gameplay is very similar to empire but greatly improved, eg. the terrain is more tactical, the troops are more realisticly behaved (some troops desert, get sick, etc) and basically much more strategy is involved (flanking, hills, rivers, etc).
The graphics are much more beautiful and a very decent computer is required to play this without some lag.
The campaign is splendid and makes you feel more involved. Although I havent tried multiplayer I'm sure it will be awsome. The naval battles are also much better, it is easier to control and wind, sails, tide, timing will affect it much greater.
Overall it is a great game (very addictive), very similar to empire but greatly improved and polished. The downsides are the learning curve is high, the AI is quite passive and it requires steam. I would suggest this to rts fans, history lovers and anyone who has spare time to learn and play this game.
9.4/10

Review by Cagan on 28th August, 2010
3 stars "Why do games require steam?"
This game runs along the same lines as empire total war. Gameplay is good. What is really sad about this game is that it requires steam to play, which in my opinion for a mostly single player game is stupid.

Review by Daniel on 8th June, 2011
4 stars "Go you Napo boy ~!! "
Well haven't got too much to say.

Once played Empire Total War, the feel is pretty much the same. Just that now, the setting has slightly progressed and you're Napoleon himself.

Campaign fairly great to play, but then again sometimes it has its flaws here and there.

Once you have finished campaign, then there's the replayability and also the multiplayer.

But that's pretty much it.

Graphics, gameplay and sound -- Same as Empires Total War just that, different skin for units and different types of unit that you may employ. Other than that, its as it is.

:) great game on the buck.
