The Bottom Line:

"Worth playing"

Medieval 2 Total War is a good descent game and I really like it but that will not stop me from telling you the Good as well as the Bad. So Good news first

1…. The game play is great the fact that you can win or lose a battle depending on how you command it is just an awesome feeling.

2…. The voice acting and speeches that are given before the battle starts is just the thing to get you excited about playing the game.

3… The many different units and army setups give the game a little more personal feel when choosing what unit to recruit.

4…. There are many different factions to play as.

5…. The Diplomats, Spies, and Assassins are fun to use.

6…. The Religion, Crusades, and Jihads were very cool, there is nothing like have a Crusade or Jihad called on a village you own or ticking off the Pope just for fun

7.... Multiplayer was Good but not as good as it could ahve been.

There are a lot of things in this game most are Good but not everything is all fine and dandy, on that note here is the Bad News

1…. You can control 10,000 of thousands of troops in massive Online and Single Player game play battles or so the cover of this game says. In all reality if you tried to play with that many troops the lag would be unbearable.

2…. The AI can sometimes be great but a majority of the time the AI is just terrible, they do almost nothing but run around and attack factions they can't beat or recruit a bunch of useless units that can be slaughtered by any other unit. (Good news about this is that the AI can be fixed a little bit by getting a few of the games patches)

3…. The graphics weren't totally bad but they could have used some work

4…. The command chain was slow it took to long for your men to do as commanded

5…. The download process was very long and drawn out

There are a lot more Bad and Good things about the game but I have no more room to put them in.

I gave this game a 7.5 because even with all its faults it still a good game to play so Enjoy.
