Conquer, rule and manipulate the Roman Empire with the ultimate goal of being declared as the "Imperator" of Rome. Set in a time when the mighty Roman Empire emerged to conquer the known world against powerful enemies, when gladiators fought to a bloody death in the Coliseum; when Spartacus defied the might of the empire; when Hannibal led his invincible army and his war elephants across the Alps to strike fear into the very heart of Rome itself; and when Julius Caesar finally smashed the Barbarian Gauls. This was a time of brutal confrontation between civilisation and barbarism, and of civil war as the ancient world's only superpower turned on itself.

Good old times.
The game is awesome
best total war game to date the rest have been let downs ...
Alas rome 2 sucks, but this will always live on as a great game
One of the best games in history, game that changed the history of strategy games.
The fact that it's still alive and far better rated than the sequel is the best explanation of a 10/10 rating
Un clasico de los TW...la jugabilidad es bastante buena y sumerge al jugador en una experiencia semi-real con los diferentes tipos de camara que posee.
Ademas, agrega el control de muchisimas unidaes por jugador y hace que este ultimo, piense en una estrategia realmente buena para derrotar al enemigo; pues aqui no se aplica aquello de "cantidad es calidad", no señor. Sino...como explicas que 300 espartanos puedan con miles de persas?
Best strategy games dinasty !
My very first total war game, too bad the sequel is not as Good as it's predecessor.

Hands down one of the greatest strategy games ever made and the game that introduced me to the genre. Not only a fun and immersing game but an innovative game. A hybrid of RTS (Real Time Strategy) and TBS (Turn Based Strategy) unlike most anything else on the market. While the original Shogun and Medieval were also great games in their own rights, Rome was when the game that took everything to the next level.
