 They got it almost right... March 9, 2010

The game itself is a great improvement of Empire TW (which was almost a total fail). The map size has been cropped, making it more realistic for players who just want to focus on Napoleonic wars and European affairs. Line infrantry is still the backbone of your army but more detail has been given to model outlook, thus pulling away from Empire TW generic line inrantry model for all nations. Turn cycle spins around months, since the game needs to cover 10 years in the same time it took it to cover 100 years in Empire. Generals are more historically detailed with names and characteristics to suit the era. You also get an option of looting conquered towns unlike in Empire, and filling up your treasury. You get the choice of playing as the French or as the four nations of the coalition which are Britiain, Austria, Prussia and Russia. My main problem with the game is that it runs really slow even though my machine meets the "recomended system requirements" set out on the box. In my humble opinion no recent TW game has managed to match interesting and imersing gameplay that was Rome TW, which I still play to this day.

I again have owned and played all the series and this is by far the best. The irritating bugs and crashes that plagued Empire are all gone. What they have done is produce probably the best PC game I have ever played. But what impresses me more is the level of detail devoted to getting the uniforms right. I just can't fault it, sure they are limits but they have gone to extraordinary lengths to please the Grognard. Even French Republican line infantry wearing a mixture of Bicornes and Tarletons helmets in 1796 Italy is spot on. Well done.

Having played every Total War game from the very start, way back with Shogun. This is truly the most accomplished of the lot. It is a vast improvement on Empire Total War both in terms of the strategic/tactical game play and the A.I. The visuals are utterly stunning and run extremely well on even my relatively dated system. It is emersive and is a real challenge when playing on the toughest settings. It is an absolute must-buy for any fan of this excellent series of strategy games.

I must admit that I was tempted to give this game a miss following all of the negativity related to Empire but being a keen wargamer I decided to give it a try and after a shakey start I managed to instal it via 'steam' and all appears to be well, none of the previous related problems (fingers crossed) Although it is frustrating waiting for the game to load. The game itself is delightful and the sea battles an extra bonus, being able to fire a broadside into an opossing ship is very satisfactory indeed.
full marks for graphics and an easy to follow tutorials.
I may now even purchase 'Empire'
Very Good February 26, 2010

Large improvement over empire. The Napoleon campaigns involve you and are great fun playing. No problems installing on steam and no immediately obvious bugs or glitchs in the game so so far after playing for a day im very happy with the great improvement over Empire total war.
