1.0 out of 5 stars Bad Product - Error Made by Activision, July 2, 2006

By	Adam Jones "Adam Jones" (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

Activision and SEGA, who created the Gold Edition made a major error with this product. When downloading the 2.01 patch to play Multiplayer, the game does not recognize the Gold Edition as a Medieval Total War or Viking Invasion game (since this is a 3-CD set) and will not install. An unofficial patch has been created, but you will never be able to play Multiplayer with this "Gold Edition". I mailed SEGA/Activision with a complaint about this failed product and their failure to fix the error, and I was supplied with another copy, which was the Medieval Total War: Battle Collection" copy. I do not advise purchasing this error-ridden product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer alert, watch out!, September 4, 2009

By	Thomas L. Marshall "Philokalia" (San Francisco) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

First let me say I have spent literally hundreds of hours playing this game and absolutely love it. The bad news is that it would not play on the new more powerful PC I bought in back in 2004, but I was not too disappointed because I was having so much fun with Rome: Total War, the next generation game in the Total War family. I recently bought yet another PC (March 2009) in anticipation of Empire being released and out of curiosity attempted to play Medieval on it. It crashes every time before a single move. I spent a tremendous amount of time on the net, blogging, tweaking the PC, and downloading patches, etc....but without success. On this basis I must warn you that you might very well be in for the same disappointment unless your system is ancient. I give the game five stars for fun but one overall due to the crashing problem.

4.0 out of 5 stars Complicated at first, but great overall, January 11, 2009

By	Jeff Werner - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

When I bought this, I was expecting a respectively hard and involved game. I got what I wanted in full. This is not a game friendly to casual gamers or ones who like uncomplicated games, you can't just pick it up and learn it within minutes, but I don't consider this a fault personally. It is very rewarding once you find out where everything is and know how to use it when. I would venture a guess that I haven't done nearly half of that this offers, and I already think I got more than my money's worth. Everything from a great campaign, to historical battles to custom ones too, it's got everything I wanted and more.
Just an aside, but no, I wasn't paid to write this, I just know what I like. For a game that's going on 7 years old, it is incredibly fun.
