Praetorians is a Roman era military strategy game that is inspired by real battles fought by Julius Caesar. You can play as the Romans, Gauls, or Egyptians - all adding to the variety of battle and strategy you will experience in the game. Each civilization has unique troops (13 units each), requiring a unique strategy for you to employ.
"Praetorians does manage to put the focus of its gameplay squarely on battlefield tactics...The challenging and lengthy single-player campaign and the tough AI will keep you busy for a long time." - GameSpot
Praetorians is a game that focuses heavily on strategic combat, not resource building. Your battles will range from sieging huge fortresses to managing or defeating guerrilla style combatants. The game offers fantastic single player missions - 24 total. Finish those and play in free form skirmish mode. Those craving more challenge can take it online for up to 8 player matches!
"The single player campaign is a good ride the entire way through... and multiplayer can be a really exciting ride if you find a worthy opponent." - IGN
The game itself is very immersive. 3D visuals blast the stunning environments right out of your screen - from the exotic Sphinx to huge fortresses and sandy beaches. Master higher elevations for strategic advantage or hide in the dense jungles for guerilla style combat. It is all up to you how you build the Empire, General. Now go do it!
The full version of Praetorians includes:
All 24 captivating and lengthy single player missions for you to enjoy!
Play up to 7 other players online - tons of hours of gameplay in this feature alone!
Discover and master 1st century battle tactics from the perspective of 3 different civilizations
Walk in the shoes of Julius Caesar and form the groundwork of the mighty Roman Empire!

Praetorians, April 29, 2008 Reviewer: Bob from India
0 of 0 people found this review helpful I thought Praetorians was a fun and an amazing strategy game. I am very fond of strategy games and would definitely recommend this game to all of my friends. The full version is definitely worth its price. This game is great for adults and kids. I have played many strategy games like Age of Empires, but I have to say Praetorians actually is as good as Age of Empires.

3 of 3 people found this review helpful This game is sooo great because it accurately reacreates thrilling battles and amazing graphics. A few cons are the music soundtrack which could have been better and the voice overs were to basic. But in all this game is well worth the price and loads of fun for hours on end. I highly recommend this game to all strategy, war and rts fans.
