Wondering before i shell out 35 AUD (=35USD) for it. 

I am thinking of getting it to play while i have some spare time and improve by statergy skills and quick thinking and improve my mind by playing it on an harder difficulty and not the most easy difficulty so i can run over the enemy and conquer every terrority while thinking up my own stories in Med 2 and empire. 

But the game has been getting alot of hype but i would like the opinion of someone who into these games and if bad then what game that can be played for an hour at an time which is statergy do you offer. 

Yes, I basically can't sleep waiting for it

Eurogamer have already reviewed it and it really really looks amazing, BUY IT

I'd like to get it eventually. I just hope though that they don't release a game as buggy as Empire.

I never played a Total War game and they sound like the real thing. I'm getting either this one or Napoleon in the near future.

Its a Total War game, of course its gonna be good! Im thinking of getting it, although i dont really care for Melee combat.

Rome Total War is probably one of the best RTS I've played to date.

Wasn't too excited for first Shogun, but I also liked Medieval, out of all I'd say that Shogun are the only ones I haven't played. Hopefully it'll be great :L

I would start with Rome, I would still rate that as the best, just ahead of Empire

There's a demo on Steam.

Yeah, that's where I went to after reading this thread. I just started the demo.
