A great expansion for aggressive strategy gamers, although some of the subtleties of the original game get lost.

By adding interesting new units, rules, and a unique campaign, it defines what all expansions should be - not just more of the same, but rather an entirely new way to play an established game. [Aug 2003, p.84]

Viking doesn't have all the enhancements I would've liked, but its new gameplay mechanic is refreshing, and Medieval fans will definitely enjoy it. [Aug 2003, p.60]

The idea was good but the execution wasn't. It was very buggy and the graphics were poor. The game was as expansive as Rome Total War

In a market full of dull sequels, here's a follow-up that shows how expansion should be done.
88
An excellent buy for those who love its forefathers and is still best in its class. [June 2003, p.117]
86
Not only does it add a very new and entertaining Campaign experience with a lot of replay, but also buffs up the original game with new content meant to refine.
82
It's fun and more manageable than the original, thanks to the new campaign, and is ultimately a worthwhile addition to the original game.
80
It doesn't do anything spectacularly new, but it does give you plenty of new content, new units to play with, and enough tweaks to the original title to make it worth another run through.
80
A top-notch expansion pack that Medieval fans will love. You get a major new campaign as well as lots of extras for "Medieval Total War" that substantially increases its life.
70
An efficient and well thought out expansion. Short, tight and intense, it's a considerably different experience from Medieval proper and well worth experiencing. [June 2003, p.105]
