No worth the money [Posted on 2008-04-18]
I HAVE ALL OF THE TOTAL WAR GAMES AND HAD RECENTLY PURCHASE THE ALEXANDER EXPANSION. I THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE MORE HISTORIAL BATTLES SET IN THE GAME. FOR THE MONEY I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT SHOGUN TOTAL WAR, MAY BE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE INTERESTING.

Very Total War Like, not impressive but fun for campaign fans [Posted on 2008-04-18]
I purchased the Alexander Expansion first online which had turned into a nightmare situation due to installation issues. WARNING: don't buy the trymedia copy, you WILL have installation problems. Anyhoo, This Game is very much for me, I am not one of those Historical Battle fanatics, I like to create my own history within my campaign games, and thus, I found the new complexity of factions interesting as well as the unit variety colourful. I recommend to all Total War Round Campaing players

Fun...but I would save my money  [Posted on 2008-05-06]
I have been very impressed with the Total War series thus far. I was so excitted to buy all the expansion packs to Rome:Total War because I was so taken back by the graphics and the overall game play. I subsequently went out and bought the expansion Alexander. I was not hugely impressed with the game. The Persians seemed a little easy to defeat and the legendary Immortals were easy to kill, probably why the Macedonians conquered the Persians.

If you are a fan of the series, go with the Barbarian Invasion or invest in one of the other Total War games.

Exactly what it says - ADD ON! [Posted on 2008-06-27]
The game is not an Expansion, it is an "ADD ON". No new stuff for the other two versions. Its a tough fight and well done. I can understand why some would expect more. It could have had more in it. The prices on Amazon are way to high (sorry guys) Try eBay, I got mine for $10 plus shipping.
