An excellent buy for those who love its forefathers and is still best in its class. [June 2003, p.117]

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

The expansion adds more depth to the gameplay, and should be well received by those who have played and enjoyed the original game.

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.

A great expansion pack for one of the best strategy titles out there.

It's fun and more manageable than the original, thanks to the new campaign, and is ultimately a worthwhile addition to the original game.

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.
