Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the best strategy games of all time!
I became addicted to TOTAL WAR ROME quickly, so I was really happy when MEDIEVIL 2 came out, and I wasn't disappointed. The graphics are great, the AI is smart, and the interface is easy.

I bought this for my son. I would review it but it would not work on any piece of equipment that we have meeting the specifications.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Indirect fire
I bought Medieval 2 recently because I was a huge fan of Rome Total war. This game is one of the best strategy games I have played. Your unit choices for all factions are diverse. The battles are mostly enjoyable.
The only flaws I have seen have been with the cavalry units and artillery.
When you have selected your cavalry to attack an enemy unit often the cavalry will charge but stop short of the enemies. This gets very annoying when trying to chase down fleeing armies. The other annoyance ... Read More
