Pros: addicting, excellent setting, solid game
Cons: interface issues, too much load time, rebels are too active.
Summary: Rome: Total War (RTW) is actually the only game that has come out these past few months to receive a 9.0+ score from Gamespot and IGN.com, the two major gaming sites on the web. Given that, since I’ve been in a drought for good PC gaming, I decided ... read more

Pros: Graphics, Sound, interesting game play
Cons: Not always strong enemies
Summary: Do you remember Shogun: Total War? What about Medieval: Total War? If you had the opportunity to play both this games then you will find Rome: Total War as a fantastic continuation of the same game play. Shogun was great, Medieval added a few things that ... read more

Cons: Some troops retreat and charge without orders Campiagn can get lengthy
Summary: I had always been a big fan of Historical RTS games and Medieval: Total War so when Rome: Total War (RTW for short) came out it made perfect sense to buy it. I am certainly glad I did too. Gameplay: RTW is a very deep game that isn't always ... read more

Pros: Graphics, the epic feel, the general gameplay, everything!
Cons: Some AI issues and the fact that it isn't cheap
Summary: I am a sucker for military-themed historical computer games. Rome:Total War takes the cake as one of my favourite games ever. As I played this game, reruns of old Hollywood sword-and-sandal flicks swam around in my brain. Except this is better. Its ... read more

Pros: Huge depth, a thoroughly absorbing game which will keep you involved for months.
Cons: If you have played the previous games in the series this may seem "samey".
Summary: Rome: Total War is the latest installment in the Total War series of Real Time Strategy games. The previous incarnations, Shogun TW and Medieval TW were brilliant games, does Rome deliver the same standard of quality? As you'd expect the game covers ... read more

Pros: Out and out the smartest game yet!
Cons: Bribing is little too easy. The "advisor" is annoying.
Summary: I love strategy games, but they all have one failure: Lack of depth. Any game can make it hard by drowning you in enemies, making you control 500 units or micromanaging the last cent of money out of the NPCs so you can't compete. But, Rome Total War ... read more

Pros: Excellent empire simulation, incredible tactical battlefield engine

Pros: Countless hours will feel like minutes
Cons: Bad Graphics, Repetitiveness, Lag due to many units, Turns take to long.
Summary: I usually ask the store's salesman for a recommendation on games. He mentioned this game and i bought it. The prologue itself took me 2 hours to beat. The single player allows you to choose different types of armies and each one holds a different story.
