  • Summary: The expansion offers an epic addition to the Total War series boasting more that 30 hours of gameplay and features a brand new campaign game map, spanning Alexander's unification of Greece and his subsequent conquest of the Persian Empire. The expansion pack also includes six new historical battles portraying Alexander's triumphs against the Greek, Persian, and Indian forces. These new battles are available for online and LAN multiplayer use. The new campaign in Alexander gives players the objective of matching the achievements of one of the greatest generals in Western civilization. It adds four new factions to the original game, including the Macedonians and Persians. More than 60 new units are also now available, including Persian scythed chariots, elite immortals, and all of Alexander's most famous units, including the Hypaspists, Phalangists, and Companion cavalry.

    I love the combat skills of the general; it makes me feel superior in the battlefield. This game makes me want to know more about the Western Civilization.

    More lands to conquer, new challenges, and a chance to star in one of the greatest stories of all time. [Aug 2006, p.86]

    Limited, but compelling. For a full-price add-on, you'd judge it more harshly, but for £8.50 (Plus an extra couple of quid if you want the "Download Insurance", which frankly sounds a little sinister), for some strategic challenges while we all wait for "Medieval 2" it's entirely acceptable.

    The graphics have been improved the campaign is actually a challenge unlike the standard RTW campaign which even on very hard/very hard is remarkably easy for anyone with basic knowledge of the game. Personally I feel critics gave it a bad rating just because it was too difficult for them? I dont see how difficulty is a factor in whether the game is good just because the critics don't know how to play the game right doesn't mean its a bad game. Bottom line, if your a Alexander the Great fan and/or a Total War junkie You'll want to give this a try.… Expand

    This game is okay, 15 bucks is a bit much, but not to bad. Without any modifications to the game you can only play as Macadon, and you start with Sparta loosing tons of money. Also there are no politics so no aliences, trading, ect. One more thing, all of the battles are way to easy or extreamely hard.… Expand
