You have to watch the trailer!
Looks kind of interesting if you like OK mini game collections.
( Only previews I could find don't make it sound all that good...)
At least it's only going to cost $30 when it comes out... :-\
I'll wait for so reviews on it after it comes out myself! ;) ;D
No Thanks's I'll stick to medieval Total war, Rome Total War, medieval II Total War and Empire Total War. By far the BEST games you can get concerning those periods in time.
OH and MTW II will cost you less than $30
I purchased this about 2 days ago. It's a big hit with the Princess. She finally gets to joust and sword fight....ooohhhhhh heaven!
Lady De Laney, do your perhaps play the game MTW II online? I have all the TW series, except the colonies one.
I would play it online if I knew people.

looks fun...
However, I tried the sword fighting in resort at a local Best Buy. I found myself using a "Hanging Guard" (which is my fall-to).
Of course this does me no good, because the programmers probably don't even know what that is... :o :o
