    Ok, so I am Greek and I thought this would be a good game. The graphics are good, and the soldiers look very nice but there are a lot of problems with this game. 1. Even thow you can play with thousands of units, the pixel rate really starts freezing when there are big battle scenes. 2. The controls don't always work! For example, certain units will not obey commands, not get into Ok, so I am Greek and I thought this would be a good game. The graphics are good, and the soldiers look very nice but there are a lot of problems with this game. 1. Even thow you can play with thousands of units, the pixel rate really starts freezing when there are big battle scenes. 2. The controls don't always work! For example, certain units will not obey commands, not get into proper fomrations or will just start wondering off...where the hell are you going? 3. It is nice to make a huge army of many rows, and thousands of units, but when it comes to the battle, they just become one huge blob and they don't follow orders anymore! You can't even separate them, they won't retreat if you order them to. 4. Alexander was one of the greatest king's and conquerers in histoy. He was always outnumbered and always victorius (96 battles, non lost!) but in the game there is no strategies. All you have to do is send your men running into the enemy and you win. Over all, it was a good idea and consept but poorly made.Not only did the movie stink, but the game is based on it also! They made it to sloppy and destroyed the image of the greatest general the world has ever seen.… Expand

    In spite of the lack of hotkeys the game are really enjoyable as a online game.

    Alexander's Battles were great tactical and strategic victories, this game is a loser.

    Fuzzy 2D graphics, very few hotkeys or in-game buttons, terrible screeching noise during battle. You almost have to see it to believe how bad it is.

    The 2d graphics aren't worth seeing... This game is like the movie : a waste of time.

    The result is a much too traditional and predictable real-time strategy game.

    The lack of true strategic possibilities is a vast shortcoming when such high quality alternatives are on the shelves.

    This conventional real-time strategy game attempts to follow Alexander the Great's campaign of conquest, but it is marred by sloppy development, factual inaccuracies, and a general failure to capture the scope of what made Alexander so interesting and unique to historians.
