Rating: - Medieval II Total War: a strong title with depth
For someone who grew up playing various Avalon Hill war game titles Medieval II Total War fills a void that Real Time strategy games do not with the grand campaign aspect of the game and then you have the option to fight the battles (solid graphics). Overall this game has lots of depth.

I bought this for my son. I would review it but it would not work on any piece of equipment that we have meeting the specifications.
Rating: - Indirect fire
I bought Medieval 2 recently because I was a huge fan of Rome Total war. This game is one of the best strategy games I have played. Your unit choices for all factions are diverse. The battles are mostly enjoyable.
The only flaws I have seen have been with the cavalry units and artillery.
When you have selected your cavalry to attack an enemy unit often the cavalry will charge but stop short of the enemies. This gets very annoying when trying to chase down fleeing armies. The other annoyance is artillery attacks. Your artillery is devastating to the enemy....when it actually hits the target. I was attacking a large army with my artillery. Out of 24 shots my artillery fired they only hit the enemy once. My favorite unit types aren't so useful in this game. Other than that it is a good game. I would still recommend it.
Rating: - There are lots of problems but its OK
I bought this game and installing and everything went fine. After a day of playing it, the game would crash during gameplay and say all sorts of things. I downloaded the patches, yet they don't fix much. Also the game freezes a lot. It is fun if the problems don't occur but they occur a lot. The gameplay and battles are very fun when there are no flaws. My computer is more than capable of handling this game yet the game has lots of bugs and problems.
Rating: - great game
this is a must have for any aspiring strategist, huge armies are at your command! One of the only things I didn't like about this game is, your pretty much a pawn to the will of the pope, if he is mad at you or another nation you must kiss butt to please him at all times, that is my only gripe with this game, that being said this is one of the most addictive total wars yet! It really is a must have.
