    I only received the game last night and I haven't progressed far but I agree with the above statement. 7/10 thus far.

    7/10 too.

    Could be much better, but there is some points that really put me off :

    - Battles are lethargic. Due to huge spacing, weak charges and small units, they aren't of epic scale and they seem to be half-hearted fought. It really brings down the game for me. Units also seems to be made out of paper, they die so easily...

    - Unit roster seems just bland. I much prefered the unit diversity of MTW1. Some parts are better in MTW2 (Byzantine with lots of cavalry, yeah), but the generic "militia" everyone get is quite boring after a while.

    - The whole adoption rampage. We should be able to recruit plenty of GENERALS, not adopt everyone and their neighbour in the family. It really seems quite absurd, especially in medieval times where blood ties were much stronger.

    - As a side-note, the voice acting for pre-battle speech is ugly. The general speak softly in a low voice, while he's supposed to encourage all his men on a whole battlefield...
    The roman speaker in RTW was much more convincing.

    - Much "fluff" from MTW1 is absent (units descriptions are illustrated with an ugly 3D model rather than the beautiful and immersive drawings ; you can no longer assassinate your own characters ; no early/middle/late eras to start with).


    Aside that, the graphics are top-notch, the music is excellent, THERE IS FINALLY THE RETURN OF THE SPECIAL MOVIES YEAH !, the limitation on recruiting is a nice idea, the castle/city difference is interesting, the whole Pope is much better done, the "missions" adds to the background.

    Plenty of good things, but some of the ugly flaws really have to be patched to make the game enjoyable.
    If violence didn't solve your problem... well, you just haven't been violent enough.
