The game is slow and can be very hard if your not playing for Rome! but over all a great game and is one of my favorites because of the time period portrayed!

Paradox is in a long-standing habit of starting with a decent-to-good game and improving on it with each subsequent expansion or new version. Such will likely be the case with EU: Rome. EU: Rome is an ambitious game, but it falls short on realism. Civil wars can rage on indefinitely, colonization of the Germanic territories can continue apace, etc. The game is a good first version, much as the original EU was, but it needs work (and probably a bit more than other first versions they've issued).

If you have played Rome Total War and wished for a game that was deeper in the strategic layer, and with less (none in this case) 3D battles, then this is the game for you. Like all the games in the EU series, it is a game run in real time, with several speed settings. I prefer turn based games, but this is one of the rare games of this large scope that I don't mind that it isn't TB. You take control of one of the countries available (including of course Rome). All of them are unlocked from the beginning so none of the silliness of other games in that field. Do whatever you want, try to focus on internal affairs, or attack attack attack. Plenty of options for diplomatic affairs, for internal affairs (especially with the expansion pack) and even for military, considering the lack of 3D battles. You have characters (like in the old KOEI games) that you set at different posts, governors, generals, admirals, ministers (like), etc. Each of whom has his/her own agenda, likes and dislikes, good points and bad points. A proper review would take too much space to write, so I will sum it up in the following. If you like Rome Total War, Spartan, Imperial Conquest, and any other strategy game of grand scale covering the period, and you don't mind you don't get to see pretty graphics with hundrends of soldiers fighting it out, then this is the game for you.

It was almost great. What looked like a spiritual successor to Crusader Kings became bogged down with micro-managing families and generally not feeling like you are truly in control. Feature or failure? Who knows, but it doesn't make for a fun time. Also, there is little point in playing the barbarians, as they feel woefully ignored and tacked on. However, despite this we do have a good strategy game with allot of depth and a suitably epic scope and feel. It just fails on not being as awesome as I suspect it could be. Let's hope for some expansions of the calibre of In Nomine

Rome is a perfectly fine grand strategy game that's perhaps a bit less interesting than the others from Paradox. There are less nations you can realistically play as in Rome, but I had a great time playing as Armenia in one game. The character dynamics are interesting, too, but there's something intangible about Rome that makes me not like it quite as much as Hearts of Iron or Victoria.

From dain120475, "I suppose, then, if you like the classic board games of the ’70s then this is a videogame for you. Combat is reduced to dice-rolling, city growth and expansion is reduced to flashcards and some pictures, and the primary focus seems to be (in my opinion) less involved in having fun then teaching and molding the players to learn the dynamics of office management and in some level history. In that sense, it’s somewhat like Wagon Trail or Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? To close, I’ll say it didn’t just bore me, it angered me that they could butcher such a fine concept. Educating children on politics and history can still be fun, and I didn’t think this game was fun. I also feel that although people who enjoy a good board game might enjoy this game, if they can’t get a group of friends around to just sit back and roll the dice for six or seven hours, that the game would have been far better if it had tossed in a little pizzazz, flair and some “pretty” effects. But if you like learning about the ancient world in way that really focuses on details like minutia, charts, spreadsheets and maps, this game may be just what you’re looking for."

The game is slow and youll find yourself at a disadvantage with the barbarians. The diplomacy is good but can be tedious with the numerous countries. The game has a lot of potential.

This is a solid variation of the Europa Universalis series. I enjoy the characters relationships to one another and the family fueds. Although I seem to be role playing with these more than they have effect on the gameplay. If you have not played Europa Universalis III, then I would get that game. If you have played it and want some variety, then this is a good game to add to your collection.

Very good strategy game wich deserves its 4/5 rating. Really would only suggest it for somewhat HARDCORE strategy gamers as you would have to have interest in this genre to get through the consecutive upon consecutive years of speeding up the game and doing nothing but invoking religioun, and changing your governers and commanders. If you are into playing strategy games for its battles, then i definitly do not suggest buying this game but for fans of the Europa series this is just another great installment.
