Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Endless Excitement
Rome: Total War has to be the most engaging strategy game for PC ever. By allowing players to engage in battles that directly influence what is happening on the campaign map, and manuever on the campaign map in ways that impact battles, it is an incredibly well thought out game. The battles are always different - and always exciting. If you enjoy any type of strategy games, or even are just a casual gamer in it for the battles, this game earns five stars.
Rating:  - a guilty pleasure
Ok, I'm admitting it, I have played this game off and on for about 2 years now. It has some bugs like they all do, some are pretty terrible as they all are. But, hey, the parts that work make this an interesting strategy game. Some of the speaches given before the battles are hilarious, and many are informative - not a bad idea to give them a listen.

Rating: - Relive the glories of the Roman Empire
Rome Total War (RTW) is one of the greatest games I have ever played. RTW incorporates an in-depth strategic empire building experience with nerve racking amazing tactical combat. The best elements of the previous versions (Shogun and Medieval Total War) are enhanced and expanded.

Rating:  - Pity
Very nice game. Super Idea. Great graphics. More than I could imagine about a PC game, until I started to play it. Unfortunately sometime after you install you'll face some problems of performance. After playing for 2 or 3 rounds it became very hard to play, slowing down considerably, becoming choppy, answering with delay to every command. A pity.
Rating: - A great game if it weren't for the crashes
This is a good game, but the main problem is the frequency of the crashes. After a day of stable play, it started to crash to the desktop after every turn, then every time I tried loading a saved game. A real, real shame, because it is an impressive concept. I installed three different patches, to no avail. I think you need a lot more familiarity with computers than I have in order to solve the bugs by tinkering befor you can truly enjoy this program.
