| Medieval II is the latest and greatest game to be released in the best selling and award-winning Total War series. Set in the years 1080-1530 the most turbulent period in European history, the game combines a vast, deep-thinking turn-based strategy campaign with the most cinematic, epic and brutal real-time battles ever seen in the genre.

A vastly enhanced version of the Total War engine vividly portrays the pure bloodlust of Medieval warfare with massive battles of more than 10,000 troops splayed across new graphically rich environments. For the first time in the Total War series each troop is an individual, garbed with the rich heraldic colours and glinting arms and armour of the period.
On the battlefield they'll survey their surroundings for threats and incoming opponents and react accordingly. When engaged they'll string together a series of devastating moves as Medieval II's new combat animation brings the conflict to life like never before. Total War has never been so ferocious or realistic.
The Medieval II grand campaign will hand you the reins of one of an emerging faction as you set about sweeping throughout Europe, conquering all before you. Expand your borders and develop your lands for wealth and prosperity by building cities or swell your army by constructing vast castles to protect your land and keep your rivals quaking with fear.
Medieval II's campaign game is the richest and most compelling yet and together with the new stunning real-time battles, combines to create the greatest Total War experience ever.

| This game brings back all the good qualities found in Rome: Total War. The amazing graphics and AI have been improved. Its a little more difficult to play but it doesn't detract from the game.

I have played Rome Total War and M2TW is a huge upgrade to that game. The graphics are like 100x better and the interface and gameplay have been hugely upgraded. This game is highly open-ended when it comes to the campaign, and even the quickbattles are fun.
Multiplayer is lacking, with really only LAN style gaming even though there is the Internet selection.
For singleplayer, if your graphi...[More] |
