Rome: Total War

A worthy addition to the Total War Series

The good: The new content, namely the barbarian hordes are fun to play with. Naturally I started with the Huns and it was a blast, the play was totally different from that as say, playing as Romans. The night battles, when u have it is freaking awesome, but I keep forgetting to activate it :(. The battles are as usual, the highlights of the game and they dnt disappoint. Seeing the Huns in a calavry charge will get your blood flowing in a good way.

The bad: Nothing much to fault here. There's a fair amt of mircomanagement involved in building up your cities, but veterans of the game shouldnt have problems with this at all. And playing as Western Rome, even on easy mode, is damn frickin HARD. This is not a complaint, just an observation. I played thru using most of the other civilizations and Western Rome is light years ahead of those in terms of difficulty.

Verdict, if u are a fan of Total War, this is a no brainer. Buy the game. Now.
