it was ok actually, cut scenes are a bit slow, but almost everything was already on low, i tried to maximize them then my machine almost froze for about 1 minute then got back in, with a more slowdown so i kept everything on low like the default, i got the demo from 3d gamers i think, i just searched google for "download rome total war demo" and clicked on the first result it gave me, the game is growing on me, but still i am not used to the fact there is no building units or population ... you just go to the war with your units and try to get the best in your units, i am waiting for the full game cause they say it's gonna be "1000 times more in depth" i am waiting to lead the egyptian armies
edit: i just added a screenshot, it's from a cut scene, pretty much like gameplay you think, but when you are really playing this is when things go wrong armies details crumble courtesy of my graphics card
