The cannon may be the final argument of kings. But the Total War series is undoubtedly the king of the real time strategy genre - and Napoleon: Total War could very well be Creative Assembly’s crowning jewel.
Napoleon is an enjoyable addition to the Total War franchise but it's not as a big a game changer as previous sequels. While Napoleon and his armies were probably every bit as terrifying as Mongols, Vikings or Barbarians, the scope of this sequel is a bit more limited.

This game basically takes empire and adds a ton to the environment with the explosions craters different deaths as horses or people fall over when they get shot running and it looks way cool, adn especially the fog of war smoke stuff is SICK. GREAT game

Copy and pasted from my steam review
Vive l'Empereur!
Napoleon: Total war is an excellent strategy game the redeems the series for the sins of Empire. The ai is much better in Napoleon then Empire and bugs are much less frequent in Napoleon. Napoleon also has fantastic historical battles, which have never been my favorites to complete in the past. The campaigns, all 4 ( I'm not including Waterloo because it's one battle with cutscenes) while being more restrictive then in the past, are great fun, and present a challenge when set to very hard. The graphics are fantastic if your pc can handle them, but the game is a system hog and if you have a lower end pc you should rethink purchasing until you've read up if you can run it decently or not. Multiplayer is great, with very little connection issues and the introduction to the series of a multiplayer campaign.
Overall Napoleon:Total war is a superb strategy game that deserves a place in every strategy players liabrary.
10/10

New features help give the game a little extra spice. I especially like being able to force other nations into becoming protectorate states and demand they fight in my wars with everyone else.
But if you’re willing to accept them, along with the awful AI and the linearity – the most controversial two aspects of NTW – then you’ll probably accept this game as a sequel worthy of the series’ reputation and a proper mise-en-scene for France’s closest call when it came to winning wars.
Napoleon: Total War adds a few important changes. The new reinforcement system and the multiplayer definitely add to the game. The lack of freedom and different factions may detract from the replayability though. You wouldn’t be making a wrong decision to buy this game, but it’s stagnation more than revival after Empire. The next game will have to prove if Total War can be brought back to (new) life.
While the strategic level is an admirable attempt at something halfway between the elegance of Civilization and the historical specificity of Europa Universalis, it doesn't have the benefit of letting a human player take over. Here, once again, the game falls apart when it breaks out of the strict scripting of the story-based missions.
This game is Empire total war on cocaine. They pretty much took that game and made it a lot better

Un jeu très intéressant sur le papier, ne fût-ce que pour sa véracité historique ; c’est fort bien documenté, du beau travail en vérité. Ses batailles sont un vrai point fort, plus « wargame » que stratégie temps réel classique d’autant qu’on peut faire pause durant le combat. Et heureusement parce que sinon… ce serait beaucoup trop vite le bordel.
Assez spectaculaire en tout cas et correct graphiquement, il n’en est pas moins très exigeant côté matériel. Mais le gros problème se situe dans la partie gestion : on s’enlise rapidement dans la lourdeur de l’ensemble, très loin de l’efficacité et de la convivialité d’un Civilization ! A force de se (dé)battre avec une interface et des menus mal foutus, l’ennui s’installe inéluctablement et on abandonne. Dommage !

Ultimately, the ranking line fire system is just not as satisfying as the other total war titles. Visuals are also muddy and not responsive.
