  • Summary: (Currently available in the UK/EU only) Merging action and strategy in a setting that replicates the atmosphere of the period, The History Channel: Great Battles of Rome allows players to take control of a series of campaigns against Barbarian hordes, while carving out the Roman Empire. Over 100 battles are available for play including the Punic and Samnite Wars, and Julius Caesar's conquest of Britain.

    Get "Legion Arena" instead. [July 2007, p.88]

    Rome seems rushed and poorly realized. [Apr 2008, p.70]

    Recycled edutainment and terrible production values make this RTS survey of Roman history stale and simple.

    When I started playing this game, i continously checked the date of when this game was made. I can not believe that this game was made in 2007!!
    I would give this game a 7 or 6 if it was made in 7 years ago. So the more I play this game, the more I wanted to play Medieval 2.
    EVEN IF YOU'RE GETTING THIS GAME FOR FREE I SUGGEST YOU NOT, BECAUSE I'M SURE EVEN ROMAN TIMES LOVERS WOULDN'T EVEN TOUCH THIS GAME!!!!!    … Expand
