I’m always a bit weary with strategy titles on consoles. On a PC, a strategy game can come to life, mostly thanks to the opportunity to make a very complicated game much easier to play thanks to simplified controls and a general tidier, faster experience. Things are usually a world apart on a console - titles are usually difficult to control and feel stripped down, often suffering from lag thanks to the massive amount of battling going on on-screen. Still, it’s always nice to see a new title giving it a go, and Great Battles - Medieval is set to be the next title on the market trying to turn you to console strategy gaming.
Strategy Informer: "History: Great Battles Medieval delivers an accessible, if lightweight, strategy RPG experience based on the historical events of the Hundred Years War. It's a subject matter that's hardly likely to get the pulse racing without a little bit of embellishment or interesting presentation. Unfortunately, History Great Battles Medieval suffers from lacklustre presentation and limited controls on the Xbox 360 and PS3."
