STUNNING!!!
if you were not already blown away be medievel 2 total war you will have to check out the expansion pack KINGDOM

it is so good that each campaign feels like a whole different game... it is worthy to be total war material.
JUST WOW

it also has famous characters in the campaign like scotland had William Wallace ( braveheart-1995 )
and the kingdom of jeruselem has richard the lion heart

Simply great.

i highly think that people should get this.....NOW!!

Not what i Expected
I was a bit suprised when i got this game as i thought it was going to follow on from where Medieval II Total War Left off. Mostly I was looking forward to being the aztecs and defending against the spanish and then maybe being able to go to europe and conquer the rest of the world. But even though you can't do the things i wanted to it is still a great game, but i wouldent say it was as good as the original but if you have the original it is a must have.

Spoiled by bugs, but a patch is promised
This expansion to M2:TW, a game that I couldn't enjoy playing until two major patches had been released, is perhaps unsurprisingly spoiled by bugs of its own. Some of the campaigns are less affected than others but all have at least one advertised feature that doesn't work properly.

The bad news was that the developers and publishers had stated that there would be no further patches for M2:TW or Kingdoms. The good news is that they seem to have changed their minds, and a patch is expected some time in 2008. How many problems this will solve remains to be seen.

One final fly in the ointment: the game installs SecureROM copy protection on your machine. Some PC owners dislike having difficult-to-remove software installed on their machines.

The Expansion is better than the original
After my great disappointment with Medieval II: Total War I thought I'd give this one a miss but good reviews here changed my mind and I bought it and it was well worth it. It is really 4 games/expansions in one and this is very good value and each expansion is very different from the next and each has a rich historical flavor. The best part is that the game is challenging, something I didn't think Medieval II was and and some flaws have been adressed although the game can still be heavy to run, graphics are best set to minimum and if you end up in a huge battle things can go bad and the game will crash especially if a general is killed by artillery. But the expansion brings a lot to the game and with 4 different campaign settings, this really is 4 games in one, so thank you for that SEGA. Others might have tried to market them as 4 seperate games.

great game but it is an expansion pack.
This is possibly one the best total war expansion packs so far as i got bored very quickly with alexander and the barbarian. this offers four whole new entirley different campaigns where you can play as william wallace fighting english tyrrany or as cortez ravaging south america as the teutonic order fighting the pagans or as a crusader knight in jerusalem. now those are only one of the forces from each campaign there are others those are just the ones i prefer but unlike in previous games each campaign is like a expansion pack in its self as there is no cross over like in barbarian so you wont be having the irish celts fighting against the aztecs which may dissapoint some people but personally i like. the only thing i would complain about is the online mode it seems to have been taken over by more hardcore gamers as most of the maps are mods that need to be downloaded and thus maybe arent for those people who dont know much about there computer or like me are just too lazy to go and download them. so to summarize great game set in historically important times with great attention payed to accuracy with great game play perfect for civilization builders but patching is a nightmare as the patches for the original arent there and if youre lazy and havent installed them (like me) then this takes awhile and the online play one of my most anticipated parts of this game has been a let down.
