Customer Reviews

A leap forward in RTS Games
Rome: Total War is a landmark advancement in RTS games. The compelling battles and intricate stategy engine ensure that this game is guaranteed value. It is very difficult to go back to early 3D RTS games such as AOE2 after playing a game like this. Rome immerses you in battles, such that you feel you are actually there and fighting for your life. Rome is not without its flaws but overall this is a truly impressive game and deserves the accolade as "the very definition of an epic strategy game".

Great Wars Almighty
The game allows you to take control of the entire civilization not just the battles. There is a learning curve with fighting but overall a great game with hours...days...weeks of entertainment

Addicted
OK, I have played this game every night for the last three weeks and can not put it down. Don't bother with any of the guide books, go to the Total War website and read each of the walk thru-s for each family, they are very very helpful. Get this game, you will not regret it (or you may after forgetting what time it is three weeks in a row at 2 am!)
