I wrote a positive review for Total War: Rome but Total War: Medieval II is even better. More complex, a lot of tasty things to do aside from fighting battles. Religion plays an important role and unlike the assignments in Total War: Rome, you are free to choose to discard them. Diplomacy is a bit wonky though that doesn’t spoil the game. Turn-based strategy and exciting realtime tactical battles. Tactics matter: it is possible to win even if your side is outnumbered, using your wits is important. Graphics and sounds are cool, although the accents in the voice acting are a wee bit corny. Minor gripes, major fun.
