Is Medieval 2 Total War the best game ever?
I know, it’s a stretch of a statement but come on this game is great! From the first time I sat down and started playing this thing I could not stop. I have never been a very big fan of the turn based games but this game is different. From the battle scenes to the faction upkeep there is always something that needs to be done. When this game first came out it was an instant hit. Copies were flying off the shelves as gamers were hooked on the game play and battle scenes.
Then Kingdoms busted onto the scene and it was donned the best game of 2005 almost instantly. With all new factions to control, including the Mayans, Incas, and other native American tribes the options were endless. All new powers were to be learned from these new factions, and ways of battle.

As you can see in the picture above the graphics are flawless as well (As long as you have a good video card, I would recommend at least a Geforce 7 series or higher). There are different zoom levels that can be achieved during battle scenes and while you are over the faction map.

Some of the different factions include: Germany, Spain, Moors, England, France, The Holy Roman Empire, Denmark, Milan, Poland, and many others. It’s fun to see what each faction has for strengths and weakness.

One of the most fun things to do is to besiege a castle. You build besieging equipment such as ladders, battering rams, and large structures for climbing enemy walls. Taking over the castles is reason enough to play the game in the first place. You can either starve out the enemy or attack them at the walls.
Overall this game gets a solid 8/10 rating form us here at Wooters! enjoy!
