OH
MY
GOD!
Best strategy game (or just best game in general?) of the year?
Now before I get to ahead of myself let's get into what makes the game so great.
-The strategic depth.
There are many different ways to sway the tides of battle. You can be out numbered 3 to 1 and still come out with a heroic victory if you can utilise strategy. Not only that, but before battle you can send spies to get the enemy army/city information, perhaps a diplomat to bribe some of the enemy soldiers, or even an assassin to kill the nemy general/or sabotage an enemy building.
It truly takes allt he best parts of ROME: Total War and packs it with a much better physics engine (great battles!) and beautiful graphics and overall an incredible gaming experience.
Anyone who likes strategy and rts MUST get this!
