Medieval II: Total War - Kingdoms

By Martin Korda (computerandvideogames.com)

Martin Korda takes out his frustrations, medieval-style

Four massive, varied campaigns ; A wealth of new features, units and factions ; Urivalled replayability ; Excellent tweaks to siege battles

A few new features poorly executed

True royalty

Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms (PC)

By (cnet.com)

Conquering Europe is never an easy task, in real life and in Medieval II: Total War. It's a big place, after all, and there's no shortage of foes, as you might have learned in Sega and Creative Assembly's epic strategy game. Enter Medieval II: Total...

There's a lot of content in here for veteran Total War fans to chew through, though newcomers should probably familiarize themselves with Medieval II before diving into this packed expansion.

Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms

By Jason Ocampo (cnet.com.au)

This great new expansion offers a significant amount of new content for veteran Medieval II players.

Huge expansion with four campaigns, each of which feels like a whole new game ; Impressive production values make each campaign feel unique

Hard-drive hog if you've got limited disk space ; Tedious installation process

In the end, Kingdoms packs about four times as much gameplay as a traditional Total War expansion, making it an excellent value. All of these campaigns are interesting and well done, and if you've got a yen for a particular period in history that they...

Or if you're tired of conquering Europe, you've got something else to look forward to.

Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms Re..

By Troy S. Goodfellow (gameshark.com)

Kingdoms breathes fresh life into the Total War franchise.

Kingdoms breathes fresh life into the Total War franchise, just when it needs it most. With a new engine on its way, the glories of this iteration will probably fade as soon as video of Empire: Total War appears. But Kingdoms adds through design,...

None of the new campaigns are easy, but even casual players will find a setting to love.

Medieval II: Total War - Kingdoms Expansion

By Gunner (gameplanet.co.nz)

The Total War series is quintessential war game for the PC and this recent expansion delivers to fans of the series a huge amount of new content. If you have the original game and enjoyed it then this is a must-have that will consume hours of your time.

This is a huge expansion to the series that delivers hours of new challenges with some interesting twists

The game is hungry for your hard drive space. Battles are clean. Too clean with no blood

Truly immersive

Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms Review

By Steven Wong (gamedaily.com)

Total War around the globe has a down side.

Of all the campaigns, the ruthless struggle of the Teutonic Order against Pagan Lithuania and other countries in Eastern Europe stand out, since the Order isn't a kingdom. Instead of preserving royal family lines, the Order needs only generals. Even if...

The only thing that keeps the military force in check is the fact that it can only recruit knights from a Christian population, so it must take an area and ensure its population converts religion in order to keep its soldier ranks filled.

Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms

By Allen 'Delsyn' Rausch (gamespy.com)

The expansion pack for Medieval: Total War adds a ton of great content, but little else that's new or improved.

Great single-player campaigns; faster, tighter pacing; fun new units and factions; fun scripted events

No major game play updates; Native Americans underdeveloped; cavalry path finding; reinforcement army AI; hot seat multi is pointless

Description
Given the crazy popularity of Creative Assembly's Total War games, it was a foregone conclusion that the latest version, Medieval II: Total War would be getting a beefy expansion. What we weren't expecting of course was that it wouldn't end with the word "Invasion." But no matter what it's called, Medieval II: Total War, Kingdoms is definitely at the top of our "must have" lists this year.
