Have you ever dreamed of leading brave knights across Europe, Asia minor, and Africa? Then your reading the right review! Medieval 2: Total War, is completely PC only and will require some sort of a graphics card to play. The award winning Total war series has brought back another, yes their second medieval game. And this this time…the graphics are great!

You start of with the following factions available in the campaign: Venice, England, Spain, France, and the Holy Roman Empire. To unlock more factions either beat the game or as you destroy factions you will be able to play them in the campaign. Just like Rome: Total War you have armies and economy and technology and cities and people and territory ETC. so you march your armies on the campaign map and when chosen for battle, you can either withdraw, auto-resolve, or fight in real time. In real time the controls are the same as Rome: Total War, except it is not as fast paced and its more realistic. The battle are longer but the graphics have definitely been enhanced and the different types of units are astonishing!

The game will require a mediocre system to play at least on medium with huge battles and no lag. But you can easily do that now with an 8500 GT which is cheap nowadays. With many campaigns it will keep you playing for a long time and the multiplayer is fun and easy to use! Keep it up Creative Assembly!
