I watched a few trailers, and the Hollywood-level depiction of antiquity really bugged me. Imperial era legionnaries fighting Middle kingdom Egyptians, and some kind of bizarre parody of Celtic cultures?
Even if the gameplay was awesome, I couldn't touch this game. The regular guy might not notice a thing, but for a history student that game is like a WW2 game where general Custer leads a cavalry charge against the costal fortifications at Normandy, wearing plate armour and single handedly destroying twenty Leopard tanks with his mighty lance. All the Germans are equipped with jet packs and flame throwers.
... damn, I suddenly want to play a game like that.
