- GamerFeed Review 4.5/5
"Rome upholds the Total War reputation by providing great, deep, and challenging gameplay. Fans will not be disappointed. So, go. See. Conquer."
- Game Zone's Review 9.3/10
"The sound in the game is also spectacular, and really did get some goosebumps going on me at times when I would hear chanting and marching of approaching enemies in the distance, or watching my troops shout in celebration as they hoisted their swords and spears in the air to celebrate a hard fought victory."
- Yahoo Games Review 9.0/10 "Finally, the campaign elements and the 3D combat have merged into a game that's practically perfect in almost every way. Rome awaits and it wasn't built in a day -- let's see how long it takes you to conquer it."
- Tom's Hardware R:TW Review "Often we remember Rome for it's decadence. Activision and Creative Assembly will astound you with its depth, power and beauty. You will never think of Rome, or strategy games, the same again."
- Gamespot Review 9.1/10.0 "The transition from the 2D sprites found in earlier Total War games to Rome's 3D units has an almost revolutionary effect on the battles, as the action comes to life like never before. It's simply amazing to watch battles unfold and to see thousands of soldiers trying to kill each other."
- IGN Review 9.4/10.0 "The combination of subject matter, game mechanics, and outstanding visuals add up to one of the best experiences you'll have on the PC."
- Gamespy Review 4.5/5 "Once your armies collide on the strategic map, you'll zoom in on that particular piece of terrain to play out the battle itself. Here's where the real eye-candy happens: thousands of troops, formations marching, cavalry charges, flaming arrows lighting up the night sky, chariots plowing through peasant armies. Glorious!"
- ActionTrip Review 89/100 "City sieges, awesome sounds and visuals, great soundtrack - just so much more spectacular looking (and sounding) than the previous games."
- FiringSquad Review 93% "It has a seamless blend of strategy and tactics, giving the player the power to choose whether he wants to enjoy one or the other, the 11 civilizations to play - and it does this all in a very refined fashion."
