Medieval 2 is a great game. In Medieval 2 you can play as a large number of factions as you fight over Europe during the Middle Ages. Medieval 2 is a Real-Time Strategy game that will suck you in for hours straight and make you want to game all the time. This game does a great job at representing each faction and it is loads of fun to try to get domination in Europe with any faction but this can be challenging. Without cheats sometimes this game can get hard due to the fact that you must maintain your troops and the fact that you have to control each city which can make it hard to make a lot of gold out of each city. I am normally a person that does not believe in cheats but in this game it can sometimes be more fun to use cheats and kill everyone who gets in your way. A awesome part about this game beside the fact that it is a really good Real-Time Strategy game is the fact that there is a cool diplomatic system set up were you can set up trade rights with other factions, declare war on other factions, bribe other factions, and basically any other diplomatic option you would want. Overall Medieval 2 is a highly addictive game that will provide you with 100+ hours of entertainment and this game is a must buy for any Real-Time Strategy fan.
