Rome has returned....

Well, its out in Australia, and as a big fan of the Total War series I naturally got it, and I must say it fulfilled my every expectation and more.... so any thoughts on it, is it as good as you thought? Does it deserve the title best strategy game ever? Does anything beat war dogs?

I have this game but just have'nt had the time to play on, as i've been playing on warhammer 40k.

It is a truly spunting game. I don't know much about beating war dogs, but I will say it's damn cool to watch a soldier on the walls of Carthage be struck by a massive ballista bolt and go screaming backwards of the wall....

yeah id say thats pretty sweet...i was reluctant to get this (bc I'd rather pick up the call of duty exp pack), but i think i might have to rethink my position.
