Rome: Total War

Seems To be nothing new

User Rating: 7 | Rome: Total War Barbarian Invasion PC

This game seems just like the original one. The only new things that I could really notice are the Different (Though if you look Oddly Familiar) names, Seemingly different factions, and New limits of troops in an army.
It My Perspective it consists only of Spoofs coming from the First Total war game. For instance: The Names of the Factions are new, but they all consist of the same maps and if you look carefully, The nearly exact same Family Members and territory placement as in the first.
Such as the fact that you can see in certain places where the Seleucid Empire Was, pretty much everywhere, all you see is a different name, and a different flag.
So I can see absolutely nothing unique in this game whatsoever.
