Rate the game: the initial verdict of Orgahs

Gave it an 8 but I´ve never felt this ambiguous. Love the graphics, the battlefields and the cities are great! But this feels more like an extension of BI than something completely new. Battlewise I see no real improvement from RTW which is really dissapointing. They simply took the RTW engine and re-dressed it. Well, just have to wait for the next title and see if a real leap in the games development occurs.

Gave it 8 cos its miles better than RTW - would be a 9 if it wasnt for the bugs and minor missing features (which will hopefully all get fixed eventually) and would be an easy 10 if they'd included stuff like naval battles and MP campaigns.

9 due to only minor bugs (the worst we have is the passive AI, and that can be avoided manually). Best OOB TW game.

What do you recommend doing to avoid the bug? Playing England, I am reluctant to foreswear shooting the AI to death as with the longbows that's kind of England's thing. But is there something short of that which can be done?

I give it an 7.5 now, but after they patch a few little problems I would give it a 9 :)

OK, poll closed - I added in the votes of the junior members who expressed a rating (interestingly, they were less enamoured than the members).

Overall, it seems a favourable rating from Orgahs - mainly 9s and 8s, and by my standard an 8 is still a good game.

It will be interesting to see how it stands up over a longer period. I am hoping the patch(es) will make it even more highly rated.
