FiringSquad Summary:

... Activision has a sure killer on its hands with Rome: Total War. It has a seamless blend of strategy and tactics, giving the player the power to choose whether he wants to enjoy one or the other, the 11 civilizations to play – and it does this all in a very refined fashion. Shogun, and to a greater extent Medieval, suffered pitifully from their engine’s inadequate interface.

Description:
Storm clouds gather over Europe, Asia and North Africa as mighty armies march forward in Rome™ : Total War. Command the greatest forces of the ancient world, including the Roman Legions, Carthage, Gaul, Macedon, Germania, Britannia and many more. Lay siege to civilizations using powerful war engines and decimate your enemies using special units like ferocious war dogs, armored elephants or scythed chariots. In Rome: Total War, the most epic, cinematic real-time 3D battles ever seen in a game come to life with awe-inspiring graphics. Vast armies are lead by brilliant generals such as Hannibal, leader of the Carthaginians; the barbarian warlord Vercingetorix; Boudica, the British warrior queen; and Julis Caesar, Rome's greatest general and leader. The mightiest armies and the most brilliant commanders of ancient times clash in an epic war game only Total War can create.
