Mount & Blade: Warband

In a brief overview;

More or less an expansion to the previous game, using an improved game engine, a larger map and generally better everything else... really quite a good game though, the free trial is downloadable from taleworlds.com

the game is the only game which can be considered as a simulator of medieval combat with a totally orignal real time combat system that is skill based. it also accuratly protrays the different cultures, economy, social dynamics and politics within a feudal system.

based in fictional land of Calradia where different kingdoms colide, this is a totally unprecedented free roaming with no forced storyline, you construct your own character and choose your own path through the world to success or failure.

Warband includes a new multiplayer aspect to the series whereby you take part in larger battles that work in a similar way to C&C Renegade (if you know that one).

To be quite frank everyone ive ever known to play this game series has fallen hoplessly in love with it, i urge you to download the trial version.... do it!

I brought this off taleworlds site but thats beside the point.
This game a sequal to Mount&Blade(M&B) is a very good improvement this time a little bit more RPG'ing like trying to win the heart of a lady start your own faction this time instead of being a rebel better graphics but still not too much so you have to have a good computer so its PC Friendly :) Also whilst I dont play multiplayer it has a mulitplayer feature which I played in the beta and it was good fun so this game if you have played M&B its a must get, besides just think of the mods for this game.

Skill based gameplay in a medievil setting that is very addictive! With more content on the horizon, this small games developer is going to do very well for itself. Considering the solid graphics, gameplay and overall design it is more than worth the price tag! Do look into this one, you'll be glad you did...

What a load of rubbish!! This game is identical to the first game, with slightly improved graphics. Absolutely nothing new besides the multi player, and is a disgrace that the producers of this game are selling it as a brand new game when it is the same game just slightly more polished. Disappointing really cos the first game was fun and I was hoping for more. :-(

Mount & Blade: Warband, don't have great differences from the prequel but is a game on it's own, something like a redifined version. Is not a game focused on graphic, that seem simple but also very nice, it's a game focused on a great gameplay, a mix between RPG and Tactical. The setting is not too much Fantasy, is more like Medieval but with Fantasy Factions based on historical cultures.
A great Game!!!! ...Must have.
