Advantages: Excellent strategy game
Disadvantages: Not for those without time on their hands.

This is the game who's engine was used recently on one of the bbc's programs, it featured historical battles being fought by teams of people, and the public wanted to try it themselves. Thus, Rome:Total War was born and many people, including me, were and are hooked onto it. As i hurried home with the game in my hand, and a few points on my game card, i couldnt wait to play it. The cellophane was ripped off, and the cd placed in the drive, i couldnt ... Read review

Advantages: Good sounds, graphics, controls, reply value....
Disadvantages: Can burn a lot of time playing it

Unleash Hell This game is part of the Total War series, which I have never played before. I received this as a birthday present back in November 2005 and as a result is the reason why there was a hiatus in my Ciao career for over six months! So what's it all about and why did I spend a long time playing one PC game? Well the game is basically a strategy game where you control a historical faction and use it's resources, characters and armies to ... Read review

Advantages: Depth, superb battles
Disadvantages: A bit similar to the previous games in the series

Rome: Total War is the latest installment in the Total War series of Real Time Strategy games, from Creative Assemblies. The previous incarnations, Shogun TW and Medieval TW were brilliant games, does Rome deliver the same standard of quality? As you'd expect the game covers the period of the early Roman Empire, from 273 BC to around 50 AD, during which time you must take the role of leader of a Roman family as they try to expand their sphere of ...

Advantages: Totally addictive, builds on previous successes
Disadvantages: Goodbye social life

I first began playing this series of war based strategy games when I moved in with my housemate nearly a year ago. I had been a fan of 'Dune2' and 'Command and Conquer' but these took it to a whole new level. Shogan Total War (based in Japan) was the first and set the scene. I joined soon after Medevil Total War was released and was hooked. Rome Total War is the newest (and best) of the series to come along. The basic premise with all of these ... Read review

Advantages: Great realistic battles and gameplay, many playable factions. Great Replay value
Disadvantages: Not all factions are playable

This game has to be one of the best games of all time! Rome Total War combines both realistic style game-play battle situations in which you can personally take command of the forces available, and economic aspects. The battle terrains can vary or be the very similar or indeed the same. However, many conditions are taken into account, for example; there is snow during winter and it can even be snowing/raining whilst you play you can even play ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant game
Disadvantages: Nothing

Rome Total War is the third game made by the Total War series. It has improved upon Shogun Total War and Medieval Total War and has embarked on a new era. There has only been one game made after Rome Total War which is Empire Total War, although in my opinion, Rome Total War is better. In Rome Total War you can decide to be the leader of several different factions. You can choose to lead a segment of the Romans, or you can be the enemies of Rome Carthage. ... Read review

Advantages: Absolutely mind blowing battles, attention to detail, replayability
Disadvantages: Bad naval battles

...to describe games. The way Rome: Total War is, "epic" is more than fitting. The guys at CA have been pounding this game out for four years, starting development about the same time as Medieval: Total War. What's even better is the fact that rather than selling out, CA and Activision had the wisdom to hold back from a fall release in 2003, taking this last year to finish building and polishing this titan of a game. All this pretty much just adds up ... Read review

Advantages: Endorsed by the BBC. Great graphics, sound, gamplay and lastability.
Disadvantages: You need a long attention span.

--- OVERVIEW --- Rome: Total War was first seen (in a earlier form) on the BBC series Time Commanders. Thoroughly enjoyed by myself, when I heard a home PC game was coming out using the same game engine I was delighted. Using diplomacy, trade, negotiation and best of all war, your aim is to expand the Romans territory. Ultimately you can become Emperor too. --- GAMEPLAY --- Following on from the other Total War games (Shogun and Medieval) ... Read review

Advantages: Graphical detail
Disadvantages: hard to control

Picture the scene. You have just taken the last province of Northern Italy. In front of you lies a mountain range, and beyond that, all of Gaul, and then who knows - Britain, maybe Spain, time will tell. You march you're fifth legion through a pass, but are ambushed. A thousand 'Naked warriors charge the sides of your column, within minutes your army is gone, pigs and all. Just another event in Rome, the latest edition to the critically acclaimed ... Read review
