    Great units, immersion and fun factions. An epic and wholly entertaining time.

    Ainda melhor do que "Rome Total War", este se passa no final da Idade Média com lindos gráficos de 2006, trilha sonora espetacular e DLC que nos trazem Cruzadas, Inglaterra na Dark Ages e a conquista da América. Merecia, sem dúvidas, uma continuação.

    Bu oyunu 200 saati aşkın bir süredir oynamışım. Harika bir oyun. Türkleri alın ve savaşın. Neden harika olduğunu göreceksiniz.

    It was well made game. Graphics were much better than alexander in same year. Gameplay were worse than rome total war and fun was also. It was little bit slow but still can get a shot, it is also most moddable one in it's series so think about playing it today. You can enjoy from it more than others with mods.
    Graphics:10/10
    Sounds: 10/10
    Gameplay: 9/10
    Fun: 9/10

    Excellent game, perfect for fans of strategies. I have to be honest, I sucked at leading my troops so the AI wrecked me mercilessly. The auto-fight results in wins based more on numbers than quality, plus removes the whole fun of being commander.

    Basically a legend. Hundred of hours of game play, mediocre diversity, mediocre graphics for its time.

    Самая любимая, самая народная, самая лучшая часть Total War которая играбельна по сей день даже в ванильном варианте.
    Creative Assembly умножили и улучшили все самые лучшие механики серии и довели действительно до совершенства.
    Невероятное количество действительно качественных модов которые сделаны для данной игры как подтверждение всемирной любви к игре.    Самая любимая, самая народная, самая лучшая часть Total War которая играбельна по сей день даже в ванильном варианте.

    In 2021 I am writing reviews for the best games that I ever played.
    This is one of them, and I played it a lot.

    Probably the best total war game I've ever played. AI is good and resists at higher levels. The system and strategy in the game also look great.

    If i have to do a tier list on my favorite Total War games, Medieval 2 would be in the second place.

    Rome 2, but medieval and everything's highly improved. Absolute banger of a game. It was just perfect, and still playable in 2022, which says for itself.

    The best game that I've played in the series. There is just something about it that works better then any game I've played.
    Cons: the units have some really bad pathfinding (especially in cities/castles), the AI can be very special and sometimes makes choices that leave me dumbfounded, Graphics are out dated for current games, but this game came out in 2006 so that's not an issue for me.

    Pros: Cities and castles build up naturally and in a way that makes sense, the battles are massive and the sense of scale of watching thousands in massive battle lines while knights fight on the wings is awe inspiring, the campaign is a great experience when dealing with the pope and his many asks.
    If you want to command a medieval army, this is the game for you.    … Expand

    The best Total War game. Period. While the battles are not as balanced as Shogun 2, everything else is great. The standout for me are the politics and religion, which are reasonably deep (by Total War standards). I also love the Crusader Kings aspect of the game, where building the family tree becomes really important.

    Very good game, fun to play with a lot of different approaches, diplomacy, agents, war... Also good tactical considerations on battles but may have more settlements management

    A bigger, prettier, and more addictive game that leaves even the series' most recent efforts in the dust...If you think "Rome: Total War's" battles looked good, especially for the number of units on-screen at once (i.e., thousands), Medieval II will blow you away. [Dec 2006, p.28]

    Mesmerisingly challenging... If there's another wargame that blends geopolitics with tactics this brilliantly, or portrays war so memorably, then I'm unaware of it... The new king of wargames. [Dec 2006, p.56]

    Take the contents and theme from Medieval. Mix them with eye candy from "Rome," add some spice and you have a winner on your hands. [Dec 2006, p.82]
