This is a must buy for any strategy gamer. Takes a while to get the hang of but after the first half an hour or so it gets really good! The detail is also pretty amazing! And for a new game 29.99 is very good!
BUY BUY BUY!
this game is a must have in your collection if like me u luv stragedy and medieval games then this is by far the most spectacular game its just brilliant a MUST buy ;)
If you love strategy games this is a must have do the tutorial first before you try the campaign well worth getting :-))))) add me frontlinedave
Basically, if your a history enthusiast and/or appreciate medieval warfare then this is definitely a worth while purchase. However, given that this is a game and not a documentary I found it hard to get into the game itself. The best feature for me was the customisation of the units, although this is fun the points required for upgrading do take an awfully long time to gain, and if like me you enjoy this feature you will find yourself completing the same battle over and over again as 'side quests' to achieve these upgrades.
The main drawback to this game is the difficulty, and how even on the easiest setting the inconsistencies can overwhelm even the most competent gamers. One battle you may find takes a few minutes to complete, where the next battle seems practically impossible; given that you will have spent some time upgrading your army this comes as a shock and can deflate whatever morale you had for the game play. Not saying that I don't like a hard game, but when you put the effort into upgrading your troops you would expect a fair battle, here even on easy you can find yourself unable to progress. Its at these stages where you find yourself unable to complete the storyline battle or the side quests that you begin to question where you went wrong, or whether the game is just badly made.
Overall I would give the game a 7/10 maybe even an 8.
The graphics are pretty impressive at times and the fluidity of the gameplay makes it much more enjoyable. I cannot say that it is not worth 14.99 because it is.
Got this game today and just finished the Tutorial.Initially confusing but when you get the hang of it you realise how good it is.As a fan of the Total War series on the PC i was hoping that one day something similar would appear on the xbox360 and this is it! Nice graphics and atmospheric background music(which you can turn off if you wish).If Total War never appears on the xbox360 then i hope Great Battles release more games.Would love to see Shogun,Napolean and Rome.Fingers crossed.Great game.
