M2TW is definitely the best in the series and one of the best in its genre. It blends politics and warfare very well providing huge scale battles and intricately detailed units. You can see each units' individual battle for survival on the field and all are excellently well choreographed. As well as great graphics M2TW has excellent soundtracks. Although there are some problems regarding the AI, this game will not disappoint. If you are planning on playing multiplayer in M2TW think again. There isn't a very big multiplayer community and battles often lag loads. The grand campaign is well designed good custom battles can be easily created. The huge variety of Infantry, cavalry, archers and artillery provides great depth for the game. Overall this is a great game which should not be missed.
