It was not long before Edward I controlled most of Scotland. The Scots, led by William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, are left to fight what seems to be a futile war for freedom. This is the time when legends are born... [Data Becker]… Expand

    Take "Braveheart," add clerics and magical effects, and you have a semi-nonfictional RTS title with good replayability.

    The game play is simple enough but you must definitely be there to control the town building aspect as well as simple control over battles as most of your time will be spent collecting resources and awarding master craftsman awards to your peasants and finding someone to battle.

    Lacks the polish of a quality title. It's not a bad game - it's just got nothing under it's kilt. [Apr 2003, p.108]

    Historical accuracy doesn't compensate for the deficiencies in its gameplay and graphics... It has some good ideas, but it lacks polish.
  5. ActionTrip

    Once your army is assembled, you'll encounter little or no resistance from the enemy troops, which essentially kills any sense of accomplishment a player might have after successfully finishing a mission.

    While the specifics of the setting might be novel, the gameplay consists of ground that has already been covered by better titles, some many years old and sitting in bargain bins.
  7. Computer Gaming World

    A chunky mix of features from other titles in a fully 3D bladder that has some merit, but will probably leave most gamers why on earth they should take a bite. [May 2003, p.91]

    This game proves 3d itself doesn't prove good graphics but talent does. Technically nothing is wrong but models look awful, so do the This game proves 3d itself doesn't prove good graphics but talent does. Technically nothing is wrong but models look awful, so do the cutscenes. I wonder what the guys over TechTV were smoking praising them. Is everyone so obsessed with technical specifications of the engine that they can't see something UGLY anymore? A soldier speaks and you can see the back of his head when his mouth opens. Awful, awful graphics. Gameplay is average, and the story is actually very nice but all these combined make an average game, if not a bit above that.… Expand
