NowGamer Review – Great Battles: Medieval (Xbox 360)

Dan writes, "Like so many tabletop strategy games, a good rule-set is all you really need to keep things engaging and playable, and we’d rather expected that from Slitherine’s History Channel tie in. Best described as ‘Total War Lite’, it’s definitely not the game’s rules – though there are one or two clangers, which we’ll talk about shortly – but its visuals that hurt it the most. Perhaps it’s acceptable on PC, to put this out at 20 quid and expect strategy gamers forgive the unerringly wretched graphics. Scratch that, we know it is. But translating that model to the 360 and charging 50?"
