Great game, but there is a bug that makes the game nearly UNPLAYABLE online. in the middle of a fight or something, the game will freeze. the sound and the music continues playing, but you cant move, and it never zooms out.

Great game play, brilliant graphics,good tactics, wants to draw the player in.
BIG problem when your over 1k of troops ahead the AI only needs to taunt you 2-3 times and your army collapses sorry no, winning then lost to a few cat calls NOT A SNOWBALLS CHANCE IN HELL very frustrating

(part 3 of review): Sure there is multiplayer and a battle that you can create but it would be way better if the campaign was longer. Another thing I didn’t really like was that you couldn’t pick sides in the campaign and I would really like if you could. Just a suggestion for the future if there is a sequel to the game was to have an upgrade system, upgrade courage or accuracy etc. Another suggestion is to have this type of game in other parts of history. Anyways this was just my opinion.

(part 2 of review): Yes you still need to use tactics, but not as much because of the mini games. While in the fight it would be better to have, a zoom in and you can see your units, individually and command them instead of pressing the arrow keys. Also I wish the arrow game was replaced by a CPU controlling your archers and your archer’s skill was depended on how good they were in the year 1066. The taunts I have no real problem with. As many, many people said before me there is this one big problem THE LENGTH. As I said this game captures the gamer and leaves them wanting to play again, but as the gamer is playing the last level and passes it, they realize that the game is done. They probably will go like “What!? That’s it?” (to be continued)

8.5/10. A great, addicting and tactical game. I truly loved this game. It had very good graphics and the gameplay was fun and addicting. The game captures the gamer and leaves them wanting to play more and more each time. The plot was very good following multiple events in history. The graphics to my standards were very good, the landscape was fantastic, and the soldiers looked pretty good (though I would have wanted to actually see their armor, weapons etc.). Now the gameplay was highly addicting (as I said before) and thoughtful, it required you to use tactics and your common sense to win, which many games lack. The mini-games sort of kill the tactics part of this game. (to be continued)

Yes I agree the mini-games detract from the main tactics.
Also there is no strategy involved. This is a purely tactical game, albeit a good one.

the mini games completely ruin any strategy that might have been involved. I'm a lousy typer, so I can't taunt, I can aim an arrow, so all i can do is use melee units. I'm sure it would be fun otherwise...?

Shouting matches -- because there's no way the Normans are gonna want to fight after what I just said about their mother.

I really hope they can do this again! This game was a grand slam. The platform could be used very well into the Napoleonic Era and not lose its fervor. Also, excellent use of historical facts and not someone's opinion.

in easy mode is funny you kill all enemy army with archers only and do not lost any soldier,but in multyplayer isn't a good idea

@TF141Sniper, how can you say the English are stronger than the vikings? the vikings even won the battle against the English in the battle of fulford. :\

The Vikings are stronger than The Normans. The Normans are stronger than The English. The English are stronger than The Vikings. Press "+" if you agree. Press "-" if you disagree.

It froze 3 times in multiplayer while i was trying to duel my brother. each time one of us charged, the game froze. please fix this!

it's frustrating when you and your enemy both have two armies left one on each end and all you do is taunt until someone gives up.

In multiplayer when an enemy charges it often makes the game stop on the animation of the people fighting. This has happened twice, and it's getting annoying.

I agree that there should be a sequel. A great suggestion for the sequel would be to follow up on what happened after the conquest of England or any battle related to the events that had occurred. Other than that this game was beyond amazing. Extremely accurate standpoint of history, phenomenal narration, excellent battle fields that match up with the topography and great battle commands. Love this game. There should be more games that teach history like what you have done here. Because of it I remember more of what happened and it sticks.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
There should be a sequel made to this game. Also if possible in the sequel topography should be given importance as uphill charges also inflict brutal casualities over here.

game is weary good!!! but it happens to "stuck" too many times (after 3 or 4 turns it just stop working... would like to see some new units....
1066 II would be great!!!
