Hi,

I'm not going to start whinging about the new game, and it looks great (i got my existing PC in order to play Shogun - i'm going to replace it specifically in order to be able to play RTW).

However - looking at the videos on the activision rome site, I was thinking that the developers may have gone a bit gung-ho on the old SFX - nearly every clip seems to have bodies flying all over the place - eg: when a charge hits, there's men being launched 10ft into the air, when a stone hits the ground, there's guys being chucked everywhere. Also the whole thing about commanders rearing their horses seemingly everytime they order an attack -

ok, i've got nothing against the developers trying to make it exciting, but my feeling after viewing the vids was that they were piling it on a bit thick - its all a bit hollywood? What do others think?
