- That's not to say there aren't a lot of additions here. Huge improvements have been made to the turn-based campaign half of the game. Before, this seemed a bit flat, more of a map where you moved armies than an actual place to strategize.
Brett Todd · Nov 28, 2006 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Medieval 2 is an excellent strategy game--there's just so much here to occupy you for hours. At the same time, you'll need to be committed to get through the campaign, as it can take up a lot of time. If you're a strategy fan looking for an epic experience, though, you'll be hard-pressed to pass up Medieval 2's rich historical texture, popular setting, beautiful visuals, and deep gameplay.
Jason Ocampo · Nov 14, 2006 Reviewed on PCRead full review - It's true that the developers really missed an opportunity to rework the interface but the graphics upgrade and new campaign options are more than enough to satisfy the legions of Total War fans. Gamers expecting the revolutionary leap forward found in Rome: Total War are really going to be let down by this sequel. Instead Medieval takes the successful ideas introduced in Rome and brings them back to the Middle Ages. For most strategy gamers, that's more than enough to recommend it, especially if you're a fan of the time period.
Steve Butts · Nov 10, 2006 Reviewed on PCRead full review - For now though, we can all rest safe in the knowledge that this is the best Total War yet. It's an absolute joy to take the accomplishments of Rome to the broader world, politicking and technology of the 11th to 16th centuries. Though familiar, MTWII is breathtaking in its depth, fiendishly challenging in all the right ways and a big old phlegmy spit right in the eye of anything else foolish enough to claim ownership of the strategy crown.
Alec Meer · Nov 13, 2006 Reviewed on PCRead full review - En reprenant les recettes qui ont fait le succès de Rome : Total War pour les transposer au Moyen Age, les développeurs n'ont pris aucun risque et s'assurent du succès de leur nouveau titre auprès des nombreux fans des opus précédents. Cependant, Medieval II apporte aussi son lot d'améliorations : un nouveau moteur 3D, un gameplay encore enrichi avec la possibilité de choisir le type d'évolution que l'on souhaite pour chacune de ses possessions .

About the game
A game of turn-based strategic rounds and real-time tactically-oriented battles. Set between the years 1080 and 1530, the game consists of two modes of play: battles and single-player campaign. Battles can be played in multiplayer, in user-defined scenarios, or in historical scenarios which simulate real battles such as the Battle of Arsuf or the Battle of Agincourt. Gameplay consists of controlling the faction's military, economic, and social systems in large campaign maps. During the player's turn, armies, fleets, and agents can be moved on the map. When an army engages another army, the player can choose to fight the battle personally in the battle mode, or automatically calculate the outcome.
