Domain Name Com's - : Medieval II Total War

- Great, no fantastic game
I write this review to tell the world that this is one the best games in the world. There are lots of people who say that it takes up too much space and blah, blah, blah. Hopeless. If it takes up too much space than uninstall a few things. Some people are really sad. Anyway, back to the game. It has great graphics and the battles can support up to a few thousand units. The new gunpowder units are the BEST!!!!!!! My personal favorite is the Portugese arquebuiser. The best gunpowder unit in the game. This game is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- One of the BEST RTS games I have played
There is so much more to do on this new total war game, such as: Crusades. If there are too many of them I get slightly annoyed, especially if your in the middle of a tense war, with lots happening. New factions. There are more and more of them. There are so many more opponents to attack and defend from. Graphics. The graphics have gotten better from Rome by a little, but that little counts. The landscape changes when you start farming. Americas. The Americas are just bursting with surprises and money. I personally sack all the Aztec cities for the money, and I get a lot. The AI. The AI have improved froom being extremely placid when outnumbered the slightly placid. Still, the AI needs a bit of work.

The cons are that the whole thing takes up a hell of a lotta space. My computer has barely enough space for any other games. The AI have a tendancy of attacking you for no reason, especially if your allies with them. Not very powerful. So it's just a thorn in my side. How pointless.

Otherwise, a beautiful game and fantastic deal. I recomend it to absolutely everyone.

- Creative Assembly does it again
I'm at a point where I'll buy anything from Creative Assembly and their "Total War" line. Having been through Medieval I, and Rome, I waited patiently for Medieval II.

IMHO, the game doesn't differ significantly from Medieval I, however, there are some much need "tweaks". For example, a city won't revolt against you at the drop of a hat and explode in resistance. In Medieval I, I've had whole continents do this at once.

The role of the Pope isn't as overwhelming. In Med. I, if you didn't have the Pope's blessing, there was no end to the revolts.

A new supporting character, the merchant, has been introduced. I'm still trying to figure out how best to use him.

Assassin's aren't as lethal, that is, their success rate is relatively low.

Finally, there's a separation of City and Castle. The Castles are to recruit highly advanced soldiers, where Cities are for commerce.

All in all, a better product than Med. I and a certain pleasure to play. I can't honestly agree to buying Med. II if you have Med I.

- Nicely done SEGA
Damn, this game is awesome!!! I just started playing the English campaign game and its good. Theres diplomacy, war, trade, I mean you even get merchants and princesses! Theres 3D exceptional battles where you control your men and use tactical ideas that real people used before us. Theres the discovery of gunpowder, the Americas, even the death plague that stalks the land. There is also historical battles including the Battle of Agincourt and the Battle of Arsuf. All in all this is an awesome game worth buying and I can't wait for the expansion pack :D

- Needs To Be Redone
I went out the first day MTW2 came out and bought it, installed it, and tried it out. I was a big fan of the first one which completely changed RTS's and was really enthusiastic about the sequel. I was a bit skeptical when I saw it was done by SEGA, which completely destroyed the fun in Rome: Total War when they unleashed their own version. Needless to say, MTW2 is no different.

Lets start off with my gaming rig. It is important to know what the reviewer is using to play the game, in my opinion.

SPECIFICATIONS

3.5 GHz AMD 64+ processors
Nvidia 8800 GTX
2048 MB
380 GB

That covers the basics needed to run the game. Now, I am using the most advanced and sophisticated graphics card on the face of the earth. However, MTW2 doesn't seem to care. I average 30 FPS with everything turned up to full, and I can't place over 3,000 troops in a battle, or I risk crashing. That is truly pathetic. Honest to God, why would you even buy something that's barely going to get a playable FPS rate? If you've seen the trailer, you need to ask yourself what the developers were using to create that. Mistake number 1.

The battles can be amazing, but your graphics card is probably going to melt if you want them to look nice. Mine almost did (no, I'm not kidding). However, the in-game AI is very unbalanced and seems to cheat at times. Your own units also have a habit of quitting an order you've assigned to them. The most unbalanced aspect of MTW2 is the auto-solve battles. If you don't want to fight one yourself, then click this little button. Be warned that outnumbering the enemy 5 to 1 probably isn't going to count, and you'll probably lose.

Sound is something that MTW2 doesn't fail to capture. It still has great music and voice-overs, but they get repetitive after a while.

The events system uses the worst drawings I have ever seen to describe what is going on. They look like BMP images done with MS Paint. Very outdated and lame. Couldn't you at least contact the people who made the paintings for Rome: Total War? Those were true beauties.

In game units are also something that are normally pathetic. Sherwood Forest archers... yeah, sure, they own if you're English and PWN all others, but they are FICTIONAL. WE WANT UNITS THAT ACTUALLY EXISTED. Remember the flaming pigs in RTW? Just about that bad...

The look of fights is still spectacular. Soldiers go one on one and use a large assortment of moves, including thrusts, slashes, stabs, shield smacks, and more.

Multiplayer is just terrible now, that is IF you can even access a session due to small amount of servers running. Be glad if you can find more than 15 total...

In conclusion, I'd say you should probably buy the predecessor of MTW2 or Rome: Total War. MTW2 needs a lot more work done. I feel it was released too early and should have been tweaked a bit more for bugs and repetitive issues.

I already know that this review is probably going to receive 0 ratings in trust and tons in "this is false". Well, it's going to be coming from the fanboys. That's just an early warning to you fair people. Personally, I don't care. Medieval 2 does need to be reworked.
