A true classic in the Total War franchise. This game never gets old.
If you like leading great armies while managing an empire this game is for you. As it includes not only real-time strategy massive batles but also turned-based phases where you deal with familial, economic and religious concerns.

Do you enjoy thinking about your nice car while watching a soccer match and sipping a good beer ? Then this game is for you. Not really my cup of tea. But a good game especially when played with friends. Could be more optimized though.
