It's a classic turn-based strategy game. The battles are well done, and the game play speed is quite good. Given the game is several years old, the graphics are a bit dated, but it still a fun game to play.

Great Game

This is a turn based game were the player captures cities on a map of ancient Europe. Player must manage the economics of each city that is owned, by building structures and taxing the citizens. Military units must be created on the genre of ancient Roman times for the defense of cities and expansion of the players empire. The highlight of this game is the management of unit formations on the battlefield. Players can choose to manage units on the battlefield or let the computer automatically calculate the results. Player management is best when the odds are equal to high against success.

A brilliant, epic strategy game with a few bugs

Rome: Total War is one of the most immersing and enjoyable strategy games I have played. There are numerous troop types, realistic tactical strategies, and generals that earn experience and traits as they win. Though the focus is on warfare, there is also an extensive diplomacy system that includes such things as trade rights, alliances, military access, and more.
However, despite these things, Rome: Total War suffers from several bugs. For example, you will not be able to play the original Rome: Total War if you install Barbarian Invasion. If you wish to play the original once the expansion was been installed, you must uninstall both and reinstall Rome. There are also numerous little bugs that have popped up during game play - though non so serious that they truly hinder the play or enjoyment of the game. Actually, some of the bugs have a comical effect, such as having a building displayed called "The Awesome Horse Temple" (needless to say Horse was not one of the ancient gods).
All in all, Rome is a game that is very enjoyable and offers realistic strategies and tactics while also educating you in the culture and advances made from around 300 B.C. to the first century.

Pretty Good.

This kept me engaged for about 20 hours total. Then I got bored with it.

Excellent game with modest system requirements

I bought Medieval II: Total War, which is a great game but won't run on my laptop. I then tried Medieval: Total War, but it was a little too outdated and somewhat simplistic. Rome: Total war has almost all of the great features of version II, but will run on older machines. It's quite fun, with a lot of historical information as well.

Vista compatible? Please help!

I would love to purchase this game but I'm not sure if this will work with Windows Vista? Can somebody please let me know, and if it's not compatible, can you please tell me how can I make it work? I'm a beginner when it comes to PC games so if you can please explain as simple as possible. Much appreciated.

This game, along with Battlefield 1942 Complete, were purchased for my 12 yeara old son ( per his request) for his birthday.

Since their receipt, All he tells me is that he loves the game and how he is able to play it and use his own facilities to determine the out come.

He still is learning how to use this game to it's fulles potential, and I might recommend it for a little older audience. But, he loves it.
