This is easily my favorite game of all time. I am a SERIOUS gamer, and this game brings something new to the table everytime you play it. If you are actually skilled enough to beat all the campaigns, it is fairly simple to create your own unique campaigns using the mods. There are NO LIMITS to this game. It is unreal.

This is da strategy game for anyone.

Medieval: Total War is super easy to learn. Gamers who are starting to be attracted to strategy or war games should begin here. The whole object of the game is to either dominate the world or stun the world with glorius achievements. The graphics don't compare to that of Rome: Total War's, but the gameplay is better. The Expansion Pack: Viking Invasion adds a Vikings Campaign, new civilazations along with new army units. Anyone will be thirsty to DOMINATE THE MEDEIVAL WORLD!

not bad for a little while

for the price it's worth buying. don't waste you money on the follow up Rome. game are supposed to get better not worse. If your bored at 3 am it's worth playing for a few hours.

Best RTS Game...if not the best game...ever. Seriously.

Never have I played a game so consistently and enjoyed it for so long as I have Medieval Total War. I strongly recommend this game for anyone who wants an RTS game that actually involves more than the classic RTS "tank rush".

great strategy...s***t tactical

while this is an excellent strategy game, i found the tactical side to be lacking. it is lengthy, drawn out and, from my experience, impossible to complete. i managed to control all but one province and just as i invaded that one province there were no fewer than a dozen rebellions. it's just annoying

AWESOME GAME (at a great price)

This is a very addictive strategy game that simulates medieval warfare. There is a strategic part of the game and a tactical part. The strategy is fun and very addictive. The battles are impressive graphics-wise, looking like scenes from the movie Braveheart (well, maybe not quite, but they're still pretty cool). For only $20 this is definately a great buy and worth checking out.

Classic installment of the total war series

This game is loads of fun despite not being equal in graphics to its recent predicesour(rome:total war). However, it has fewer bugs and the battles are still as much fun.

i agree with both of the above

while the second reviewer is right to give this game the best review of the century, the first reviewer has a good point too. this game is amazing. shogun total war was excellent but this blows it out the water. the graphics, the handling everything is incredible well made. but like the first reviewer says, prepare for rebellion. if you are frustrated easily with games then dont get this. i had the same problem with rebellion. just as i was about to conquer the world, i was beset by several beaten kingdoms all wanting their land back at the same time. and as for the papacy... it just doesnt make sense when you knock them out the game, only for them to come back three times as strong a few turns later. this stops me from saying this game is perfect. it does have flaws. but those flaws can be dealt with using determination and heavy cavalry.

Only one complaint

Since the excellentnessnessness of this game has been expounded upon, I have only one beef with the Battle Collection edition.

You get one game and one expansion pack (if you didn't read the product description). Without the expansion pack, there is an insanely unfair (but ludicrously fun) axe-wielding light cavalry available only to the Egyptians. It is nearly impossible for the Europeans to defeat them - until the advent of armored spearmen, that is. Using these six-legged terrors (two for the axeman, four for the horse, brainiacs) and a complex network of ships, it is possible for your men to enjoy a meal of baba ghanoush while visiting Sweden. So cool.....

You may notice that this is not, truthfully, what happened. I tell you that this does not, truthfully, matter. The game is a riot. If you think these units are unfair, just install the expansion pack and they go away. THAT, my friends, is my only complaint.

Oh, yeah, download the patch so that all of your generals don't die at the age of 50. Kinda stinks when that happens. Then again, a 170-year-old general is sort of anti-historical too.

Medieval total war says it all

Excellent game. The graphics are not up to par with Imperial Glory or Code Name Panzers but that is high end.
Game Pros. are the numerous regions to control and the dozen or so empires or nations to rule. Large number of units to chose from and certain regions recruit special units. Large number of Battle modifiers: weather, moral of leader and troops plus type of terrain units are fighting in and a Good AI. The addon Viking Invasion is a good way to update the old MTW version. Game save options and special campaigns and battles.
Game Cons. are simple terrain and building graphics, unit graphics, treaties with opposing nations are to simple or lack dept. Trade routes are generalized as with marinetime warfare and marinetime trade.
