Rome:Total War

This game has been out for some years now, but if your naming good
rts(real time strategy) games, this one cant skip your line...

Ok, i must confess..the graphics are dated, but if you can overlook that you have a killer game. This game is about fighting and destroying other factions. You start with romans, but as you progress, you can play factions you have destroyed. You can fight the war on different ways, by starting allience's and fighting together, use stealth by using spies and assasins to kill their leaders, or you simply harvest a army, and start taking down theirs. When starting a battle, you will zoom in on the spot where the forces meet, so if there's a forest closeby, it will show in the battle map as well. There are good differences between the diffilculties, the enemy will move faster and smarter. You can go online with this game, but i think the offline experience is the best you can get.

My score: 9 out of 10

This is the way how RTS games should be like, challenging and loads of variety.
