So, for those of you who have played this game, what is your opinion of it? Personally, I have never been more impressed with a game in my entire life with the sole exception of when I first saw Half-Life 2's physics system. It is certainly the highest quality game I have ever seen and it is hands down the best strategy game I have ever played. It is also the longest game I have played. I'll even go as far as to say it may be one of the greatest games ever made. Aside from from naval combat and it's website Rome:Total War seems to sacrifice nothing at all. For those of you who have not played this game I highly recommend you buy it.
For some reason I cannot play this game online but if anyone would like to play with me in multiplayer via LAN simulator I would be ecstatic!
