Apolagies to all who have seen this before, but I only just came across it. It scored 8.2/10 with the following conclusion:

Overall, the expansion is a great addition to Medieval. The new Viking campaign adds a lot of new content without changing the original gameplay too much. The problems with the game haven't been fixed, such as bare-bones diplomacy that doesn't even let you coordinate attacks and some complex systems, like trading, that are poorly explained. But again, this expansion is for Medieval veterans, who should already know this game well. What they're looking for is new provinces to conquer and new units to play with, and this expansion definitely delivers on those counts. It's fun and more manageable than the original, thanks to the new campaign, and is ultimately a worthwhile addition to the original game.
Anyway you can find the full review here (http://http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/medievaltotalwarvi/review.html). Of particular note is the screenshot section containing a few I havn't seen yet providing a little something to pass the time for those of us who don't have it yet.
