Welcome back. In my experience M2TW is the best ever in many respects (I have played since STW). Graphics wise it rocks, sound wise it rocks. Game play it's ok. The game has some bugs much like RTW did. For me they are not nearly game breaking, and I use cheats to get around some (like princesses starting with 0 charm). The most annoying "bug" of them all however is the crappy battle AI. The AI simply does not flank, outmanuever or try and outsmart you at all on the battlefield. Nothing like STW or even MTW1. It simply gathers its men, and hurls them at you in a massive wave of steel.

But the most awsome part about M2TW is its extremely moddable file system. I expect to see very complex and fun mods in the future. So really it's up to you to get it now or wait out for some good mods. I think in its Vanilla form it is a blast to play.
