Rome: Total War is the third Total War game from England's Creative Assembly, and, to make a long story short, it's the best one yet. It was naturally expected to build on its illustrious predecessors, which featured epic-scale real-time battles and impressive attention to historical realism and detail.
Shogun: Total War was a promising start for the series, while Medieval: Total War built on that promise to create an even more engrossing strategy game.
With Rome: Total War, Creative Assembly takes the next step, and it's as much a revolutionary step as it is an evolutionary one, thanks to a beautiful new 3D graphics engine that makes the series' tactical battles--featuring thousands of soldiers--better than ever.
The results are nothing short of spectacular, helping make Rome: Total War the very definition of an epic strategy game.
