(More customer reviews)While I haven't had much time to mess around with the Alexander expansion, I have to say that there are few, if any, video games that have sucked me in as much as Rome Total War and the Barbarian Invasion expansion. While I obviously love Medieval 2 Total War as much as the next guy (when I get to borrow my ex's super laptop anyway :), there's something amazing -- especially for a history buff -- about the diversity, challenge, and overall feel of the RTW games, never mind the various mods available which pretty much keep it from becoming obsolete.
Generally, I am the type of gamer who avoids flavor of the month games, but who REALLY gets into 2-3 great games a year (typically console games, e.g. I'm way too into Fallout 3 right now, as I was codependent with Assassin's Creed a year ago), and I kind of laughed at my good friend who recommended this game to me a few years ago (yes, yes...I know: I'm totally with it...). It just seemed like too much time and trouble. After borrowing it from him in August of 2006, I think he finally got it back in late 2007, right after I bought my own copy. :)
I've played various custom battles and campaigns with various factions with all kinds of difficulties and I NEVER get sick of it. I'm a fledgling writer who studies ancient, medieval, and modern history (both eastern and western), along with general military history and theory, pretty seriously, so conquering the world with Parthia or Rome never gets old--EVER!
The sheer quality of the Total War games, let alone the constant barrage of and variety of mods, make them worth every penny. I HATED RTS games prior to experiencing this series: now I LOVE 'EM. I can't think of a better compliment than that.
