That's great news. System Requirements are a bit high though.

Meh, fan service review tbh. One of the only few downsides is it doesn't have multi player? Come on. They also have basically the same thing twice in the positives. First they say the combat and controls, then they say the archers and cavalry, that's included in the combat. And the world is hardly politically and economically dynamic, it is in some ways but none that really matter, all that matters is who controls how many castles and cities really, so that you can know how tough it will be if you go against them as a rebel or whatever. Knowing the prosperity of cities and such was important in Pirates! but here it doesn't really affect you, it's just text.

agreed about the polictical/economic.

not about archers and cav tho. they are unique to the game, (from my experience) as is the combat system. they are kind of the same if you look at it from 'you doing combat on a horse', but also remember you dont have to ride a horse in which case the game shows you its version of foot to cav combat. the more i think about it 'combat', 'archers and cav' and 'you fighting on a horse' seem like 3 separate points.

All in all a good review! Although a couple of things made me wonder what he was going on about like these two...

If used properly (set up in the special holster located on the hip) the lance has the highest damage in the entire game.

Perhaps if we had ragdoll animations, gore and dismemberment I would not get tired of slashing my sword left and right.

But I think these two counterbalance them nicely!

In fact the entire experience looks and smells like a medieval battlefield simulator.

Mount and Blade is a stable product from early beta with great replay value which offers a level of entertainment that few titles with overinflated budgets fail to provide.

QFT!

neah, just the translation from romanian wasn't very inspired I think; the dude wanted to say the arrow trajectory is realistic, same as the way you couch your lance and do the kill...
