    The battles themselves are almost always immense, with more than 30,000 troops a side (that's the smallest battle I can remember in the experience) but you don't get that feeling of enormity.

    Encompasses fantastic graphical prowess with equally fantastic gameplay and depth.

    Never mind that the story is fantastic--especially because it's based on real history -- the one thing that will get this gem some serious press is the overload of eye candy.

    Stunning visuals and sounds. The only question is whether you are willing to sit down and play the game, with its continuously redundant nature.
