"How to wrap this up then? The key point here is that Creative Assembly haven’t made a ‘bad’ game, not by any means… it’s just not a very exciting one. It’s fairly stable, as things go, and while you will probably break the game in some way, there’s nothing really game-breaking about the technical flaws we’ve encountered. The simplest way to sum up its biggest problem is that, really, it can be quite boring sometimes. Everything kind of just plods along and while you will get moments of brilliance, moments of wonder… they’re too easily buried by a startling amount of mediocrity. Total War: Rome 2 is a perfectly adequate/decent game. It should have been a bloody brilliant game."
"For all that the game may have promised, it isn't such a big step forward for the series. It's Total War done a bit bigger, a bit better and a bit different. Its borders hold firm."
"Rome 2 is the product of years of experience and the work of a studio that finally found the perfect harmony between RTS and turn-based. The developers changed certain parts drastically, but created a game that can surprise you at any time and offers a great deal of depth. "

Čini mi se da je Shogun 2 ostavio mnogo bolje dojmove kod svog izlaska. Malo sam gledao gameplay i općeniti sistem user interfacea je sto puta ljepši i bolji u Shogun 2 seriji. Ovdje neki opaki minimalizam koji mi se ne sviđa nikako!
Malo sam razočaran viđenim, ali neću suditi dok ne probam...
