I think we all remember the year 2004 when Oliver Stone's box office failure Alexander came out. Personally I loved the movie. I saw this game had very bad reviews and I decided I'd download the demo and try it out. BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE! The game would have been awesome if it had a little better graphics, and didn't have as many bugs!! Ugh there was a mission where they told me to keep Crateros alive and he looked exactly the same as all my other units and once I realised that he was fighting I got into a spaz attack of clicking to get him away and he wouldn't do it! I swear the units never obey the retreat order! The buildings are very well detailed and the water is pure eye candy but all of this amounts to nothing if you can't even give your soldiers orders. The population limit is 64,000. Yeah I know wow. Once you get over 300 units though the game turns into an unplayable slog. The song on the menu is good because it comes from the soundtrack of the movie. I'm a big fan of Alexander the Great but this game shouldn't even have been made. The missions are boring and all the characters have terrible voice over. My 6 year old little brother could have made a better game. The sounds are just stupid too all the battle noises you ever hear are fake sounding grunts and a few swords clinging. Not very pleasing. If you want a game with formations and real battle tactics give Rome Total War a try. That game was superb as was it's sequel Medieval 2 Total War. The menu has the motto of the game on it "Fortune favors the bold" Well sometimes bold can be taking a $#!@% in the toilet and sticking your head in it. Don't even try this game it's horrid.
I did'nt see the Alexander Movie until after it came out on DVD so I can't say much about that. Though I will say as boring as it was Rosario Dawson certainly makes one scene worth watching. I admit I love RTS games, ... Read Full Review
