Well the trailer sure as hell made me lust for this game. I'm going to have to scope out what people have to say about the PS2 version.
Edit: Here's IGN's review of the PS2 version:

Closing Comments
In all honestly, this isn't a game for newcomers anyway. Despite surviving for more than 10 games, the barrier to entry for the series is far higher than perhaps anything else on the PlayStation 2. That doesn't negate any of the rewards for actually sticking it out and surviving the grueling process or building up armies and managing resources like a true armchair general, but to get that sense of accomplishment, you'll have to endure an almost relentless level of tedium. If you have that kind of patience, by all means give the game a shot, but only if you have that kind of patience.
