Medieval II Total War (Gold Pack) (PC Games, 2008)

It was suggested to me by a friend and so I searched for it. The strategy, the battles, the murder...just a lot of fun.

If you liked Rome:Total War you'll love this game. The battles are not as hard to do well in, in fact in Rome:Total War I will sometimes play out battles that are close, the computer tends to win every time. But with this game your better off playing out the battle yourself, you have as good of a chance to win as the computer. Thats a bonus itself, in my opinion. The campaign map is just as challenging as the Rome:Total War was. Overall, a good game if you like the genre.

I like the Total War series. I'm a big fan. The Gold Edition was easy to find, which is why I bought it. The graphics and all are amazing. The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't have as many factions as previous editions. Aside from that, it's a great game and I recommend it.

The product arrived as pictured, great quality. Product arrived very quickly and in great condition.

Product was sent in a timely manner, almost 4-5 regular days, CDs installed and keys are legitimate, both together in origonal selaphane. Trust in this buyer

I purchased the games for my son, who told me that they are great, exactly what he expected.The shipping and condition of the purchase was great. The product fits it description with action and game.

So I totally digged how fast the product came and how perfect the condition was. If you want a product with great quality, a really good price and excellent service, this is the place to be! :)

Bought Medieval Total War from the seller. In time, not problem with changing the address!!! Recommended!!!!!!

It is a great game that's why I bought it but it is not like the first one. there a lot of details in the game that need attention and it is more difficult.

What I like about diz game is dat everytime U play D game its always a different game...U may play D same Faction, make D same moves but D AI move's will always B different from B4...

I bought diz game coz its D best PC Game of all Time...I always hope & Pray dat Total War would hav a PS3 game in D works...Dat would B awsome...me:)

This is an escape from this world. Here you can be absolute ruler, kingdom builder, general and conquerer of other kingdoms. Each time you play it is different, settings can be ajusted to make it more interesting. The battles are great, with a good mix of units as your kingdom advances with tech.

A great game for anyone who thought that Civilizations IV needed more depth. Visual aesthetic is great for every aspect of the game and music incredible. The gameplay is a wonderful fusion of turn-based 4X style and a different, seldom explored, style of real-time battles. The campaign takes place on a top-down 3D-Rendered world map. If you've played any Civ games then you know essentially how it works. The battles, however, are practically another game in themselves, putting you in command of the armies in the field to run in real-time. All the resource management and building takes place on the campaign map so the battles focus on using the forces already at hand to win. The way the units perform on the battlefield depend on a vast array of factors including experience, Terrain, weather, the command ratings of the respective generals, and more. Properly using the units at hand in the battles is just as important to success as building the right units in the campaign map.


Only real complaint I have is that it took an solid hour and a half to install.

Other than that, it just takes a large time-commitment to wrap your mind around the different factors involved in both the campaign and the battles. Which I suppose is a mixed blessing, since, once you do figure it out, it provides a great deal of depth.

One more thing: Despite what the Product description says, it is compatible with Vista. Just follow these instructions:
1. Make sure you have DirectX 9 installed as DX 10 (which is included with Vista) is not backwards-compatible. This can be downloaded for free online.
2. Do NOT run setup from the Auto-play launcher. Instead open the CD files from My Computer; find the Setup.EXE; Go to properties (right-click) and set it to run in compatibility mode for XP service Pack 2, then run the Setup.
3. Do the same for installing the expansion (bring a book, this is the part that takes an hour).
4. Once installed, run normally.
*Note: It may seem logical to try running the program in Compatibility mode since you installed it that way, but that actually causes Vista to be unable to read the CD. I don't know why, but it does, so just run it as normal.

Kingdoms is the most content-rich expansion ever produced for a Total War game, with four new entire campaigns centered on expanded maps of the British Isles, Teutonic Northern Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. In Medieval II, you were only given a tantalizing glimpse of South America, but in Kingdoms, vast tracts of land in both North and South America have been opened up for you to conquer. All-new factions from the New World are also now fully playable, including the Aztecs, Apaches, and Mayans. Along with the new maps in the Britannia, Teutonic, Crusades, and New World Campaigns, there are 13 new factions to play, over 110 units to control, and 50 building types, adding up to 80 hours of new gameplay. Kingdoms also offers new multiplayer maps and hotseat multiplayer, a first for the Total War series, allowing you to play one-versus-one campaign games on the same computer.

I had originally bought the ROME: TOTAL WAR a few years ago and i was hooked!! The epic battles, and the way this game makes you really think is what really pulled me in! For anyone who is not sure, if they are going to like this i say.... get it!!!!! you wont be sorry!!!

I love this game. Its action packed. It even includes online. DO BUY!! It is the best Medieval game out there today! Have Fun.

This game is exactly what I expected, absolute WAR. I wasn't let down one bit. It can be as challenging as you think you can handle, but I would advise starting out on the easy settings first as it's hard to figure out. I'm not sure how long one game can last, but I've been playing on my first game for over a week now for several hours a day and I've only just gotten started. Basically, every game just one long, tough challenge that stimulates your mind. I've become addicted to it already. Cool stuff!

cool but requires a good graphics card doesnt work with most stock cards but its amazing its great and doesnt crash i like the fact that it lets you install without the three discs like rome and doesnt crash like empire and its a fun game
