Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - SecuRom 7 buyer beware!
I purchased this expansion when it first came out and couldn't stop playing it. I'm in the process of tracking down which of my games have SecuRom hiding in them. This nasty little trojan doesn't remove itself from your system when you uninstall the game. Well, this has the nastiest version hiding in it. Too bad, I really liked this game. I hope ETW ships without SecuRom hiding in it. I'll have to "Spore" that one too if it does. At least plain MTW2 shipped without it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Micro-management of Medieval II's bloated grand campaign
I like Medieval II Total War... but I believe it is heavily flawed, more so than even Rome Total War.

One of the major issues I had with it was that it tries to cram 500 years of history into ONE campaign, whereas Rome Total War only handled less than 300, and Medieval Total War divided the main campaign into three periods - Early, High, and Late, reflecting the major changes in technology and factions (example, the Ayyubid Sultanate of Salah ad-Din is in the Early period, but did not ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - On going Saga
Much has been written already about this expansion pack. My experience with this series is a very positive one. With just the right mix of resource management and tactical skill, both on the large map and in each individual battle, this series is first rate.

A better technology tree and more advanced units to strive for are my only complaints.

Medieval II Total War taken to the next level.... In many ways it is more of the same, but thats not a bad thing in this case.... The only downside is the the Head to Head mode was a rather poor idea and is poorly implemented... but thats ok, it doesn't hurt the game which overall is just plain solid...

Works like a charm of my Mac OS X Leopard Macbook Pro... I run it faster than all my PC friends on my Mac... HA!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good Strategy Game
Its a great game and a good expansion for Medieval II that adds a great many things to the original one.
