I Love The Total War Games, and the first expansion for Rome well, expanded the game. This however, does not. For one, you can only play as the Macedonians, and there's a 100 turn limit which made me feel like I was playing a demo. I can tell Creative Assembly put this out right as they were puting all their effort into Medieval 2. Not enough content for a pass.

This review is from: Rome Total War: Alexander Expansion (CD-ROM)

I purchased the Alexander Expansion first online which had turned into a nightmare situation due to installation issues. WARNING: don't buy the trymedia copy, you WILL have installation problems. Anyhoo, This Game is very much for me, I am not one of those Historical Battle fanatics, I like to create my own history within my campaign games, and thus, I found the new complexity of factions interesting as well as the unit variety colourful. I recommend to all Total War Round Campaing players

Had to add my comments when I saw the price for this item. This was (several years ago) a $10 download, its a short but tough campaign that adds a little extra to the original Rome Total War game, but not much. Although I enjoyed this it was more about bragging rights than the fun I would normally get from a full drawn out campaign. In summary, just don't buy this unless you can get it for $10.
