Like Romeo and Juliet, I was deprived of my love for so long, but the third Total War has made the franchise accessible to all but the most casual of gamers.

The BEST Total War game, though fighting Medieval 2 for that title. The only bad thing about this game is the god awful performance in 2024. That still didn't stop me from playing the hell out of it, which tells you how good this game actually is.

PC The graphics for Rome were nothing short of great in my opinion from animations to the smooth camera work and lack of lag even when large numbers of troops filled the screen. The sound in the game is also spectacular.
No matter if you’re a fan of strategy, combat, really angry guys with spears or some mixture of all of the above, Rome: Total War will definitely please.
It seamlessly combines real-time and turn-based gameplay, gives the player ultimate control of their experience, and provides a level of depth that verges on bottomless.
As it stands, Rome: Total War is merely a good empire simulation with a minor real-time strategy diversion built in. [Nov 2004, p.165]

Wow! Very good grand strategy game, one of the best of always... The approach, with three different Rome factions is a brilliant idea

oyun genel olarak iyi ve eğlenceli ama kontrollere hiç alışamadım ayrıca günde yarım saat yada bisaat oynamaya vakti olanlar için ideal bir oyun

used to be my favorite game,. But its very unbalanced. Unbalance that was never fixed. Romes are OP, they have the best of everything, and barbarians have the worst of everythjinhg. Greeks lack good cav. Macedonians cav is weak too. Romans shuld not even have preatorian cav. Archers were overnerfed. Moral of units is too low. They ruined the camera with steam version or 1.3 patch. And also introduced a phalanx bug where phalanx turns around for no reason. Nefed Egypts only good cav (desert cav 150 size to 120). the game was more balanced when it came oujt then after the patches. The game is an unbalanced mess.
