I have over 100 hours of gameplay so far in single as well as multiplayer. While I don't think it is a great game it is a very good game and does what it means to do well. The graphics while not cutting edge are more then adequate for the genre. If you are interested in a castle sim/medieval warfare game then this is your best bet.

This game clearly needed at least 3 more months in development and that's being generous. From the hype/propaganda spread by CA/Sega/Craig/Will to the quite numerous bugs and performance issues as well as features from previous TW titles mysteriously omitted. Add to that a 60$ price tag and possibly more if you purchase if you add the Greek states DLC and you can see how the game has gotten below average reviews. I have seen titles made by smaller development teams for half the price of R2 that were more polished. I myself will never purchase another CA product upon release and in all likelihood possibly never. Caveat Emptor{Buyer Beware}....

Some bugs ive noticed after the TENTH{yes 10th}patch. Knights on invisible horses. Units that walk thru walls AI that is beyond horrible Units commands are broken Multiplayer is still for the most part unplayable. These are a few of the bugs i witnessed in 15 mins of gameplay Worst release ive seen in 10 years easily. STAY AWAY FROM THIS TITLE......... BUYER BEWARE
