Medieval II: Total War

An exceptional game that brings history alive with enormous flair and clarity.

There is a metric ton of game to be enjoyed here, and I heartily recommend it to anyone with a lick of interest in the subject matter. Small annoyances, like a mediocre overworld interface and the occasional unit AI breakdown in the RTS battles, are nowhere near enough to diminish this game’s overall genius.

Best viewed as a refinement on an already phenomenal product.

Fans of the Dark Ages will definitely get a nice playing experience, and for them as well as for the rest of the RTS fans, Medieval 2 can easily be considered one of the best games this genre has to offer.

It’s probably the best game of the series despite its more modest score. It is more challenging, the battles are more interesting and balanced, and the graphics and sound are fantastic.

Medieval II is a good game a couple of patches away from true greatness. As it stands now, it's a beautiful, well-crafted experience with some minor balance issues. [Feb. 2007, p.56]

A lot of bang for the bullion -- whether you crave a detailed toy-soliders-in-1197-AD simulator or a complex, rewarding Civ-style strategy game, this Total War is a total package.

Hands down one of the best of its kind. With huge replayability, you’ve got one of the most fun gameplays you will find anywhere coupled with the most epic and beautifully composed music in the genre. Who doesn’t like a good medieval setting, anyway? This game hasn’t been matched in almost 20 years and it doesn’t look like it will anytime soon.

Fun game overall but failed to be as good as its predecessor rome total war

Battles are fun but sometimes it’s a bit hard to control your soldier as they seem to do what they want.

Build pretty cities and stare at them amazed on the strategic map. Then realize the single player campaign is garbage because CA can't write AI to save their lives. You can win any siege with 1-3 units of any kind and ballista/cannon towers. Move unit outside of walls. Enemy will charge in. Walk back inside castle. Enemy slowly retreats while getting hit by tower fire. Rinse and repeat. Uninstall game in anger. Shogun Total War (1) was better.

Oyunun potansiyeli var ama çok eskimiş. Bir remake gelse mükemmel olur bence.
