Who has it? What did everyone else think? Please discuss!

And if that doesn't work, who is looking forward to Rome: Total War?

Played the demo about 1000 times. Loved it every time. Nothing like standing fast against an onslaught of literally thousands of enemy soldiers, and managing to beat them off via strategy while vastly outnumbered.

Do you speak of the middle-eastern castle defense battle? That was a classic. I pulled all my people back into a tighter formation in a semi-circle and it ended up working pretty well.

I bought the game the day it came out in August 2002, and I have to tell you, this is hands down the best game I've ever played, with the MOST replay value imaginable. We're talking over 100 hours here minimum. The Demo doesn't even contain 5% of what you will do in the full game. Seriously, the campaign and the battles are UNREAL. The strategy and tactics you can use are UNLIMITED in their complexities, yet once you get the hang of it, you realize just how intuitive it all is. Other Strategy games can hope have a few hundred troops at the most. In Medieval:Total War you can have 10,000 all in real time.

Basically, i can't even begin to describe just how incredible this game is because there is so much to say. You could write books on the Battle tactics, or Campaign tactics, it's that awesome. This is one game you'll get your every penny out of.

There is simply nothing else like it out there in the stores...that is, until Rome: Total War comes out.

I played this game around a mates house, and I was hooked after 10 mins. It is without doubt one of the finest games ever made. I love it. Conquering europe is great. So much better than those linear stratgy games which give you pre defined levels. The game rocks, if you dont have it, get it.

I agree. The replay value is insane. It's basically open-ended, when you get down to it. A map of europe, a battle system, a technology tree, an economy. Have fun. Plus, you can design your own battles, or even your own maps...historical battles (and good ones, too) and historical campaigns. I am n love with this game.
