Enjoyable, 2006-01-04
I admit that I haven't finished the game yet but I've been enjoying playing it the last couple of days.
Basically you command legions of the Romans. Archers, legionares, horsemen etc. On a terrain you have to beat the enemy.
The units all have their special abilities, it's best to have spearman at the front to stop the enemy, horsemen to do quick attacks and archers for long range attack. Because of differences in heights it is important to have archers on higher positions.
This all makes for fun. The graphis are really not great but I think most strategy-games players like me are not really interested in that. The sounds are fun and it has good historical accuracy with the names of all the tribes and their leaders.
Worth the low price

 A sweet game, 2005-03-18
This game was over all very fun. The graphics are pretty good and the gameplay is awesome. It is a game that will last you a good long time. It is one of those games that you will be stuck on a level and come back and win and get sucked back into it. You can command the egyptians, the gauls or the romans. The campaign is very fun. The skirmish is very fun. You can make up to eight different computer players and choose who is an ally and who is an enemy. I reccomend it.

Superbly immense, 2005-02-04
Some have speculated about whether this game was of brilliant quality. Well, they were dead right. The graphics and gameplay of Praetorians are absolutely Phenomenal. If you are a fan of any sort of war game at all, then you will love this to bits. It has panache about that is like no other game I have ever played. Absolutely superb!

 Waste of Time and Money!, 2004-10-11
The Graphics are very poor. You cannot control Game speed and cannot pause the Game. Worst of all you cannot control your Units.
This is supposed to be all about Units, not managing an economy so as to produce Units. You just fight. The strategy lies in using the right Unit in the right place, but because of the poor Game interface and the horrible bottleneck Battle Maps , it is chaos once the fighting starts. Your units run all over each other and you end up with your Archers charging out in front.
Add the fact that if you are a Single Player going up against the Computer, it is useless to scout the Dense Dark Forests because your computer generated enemy will simply disappear and pop up in another place. There are even arrows flying at you which do not come from any enemy unit. They are computer generated.
There are Walkthrus online, but no viable Community Chat/Help because no one participates.
In short, save your money! I just ordered Rome: Total War which is what I should have done in the first place!

Many sleepless nights later..., 2004-08-21
This is an amazing game. The detail is super and the gameplay is straight forward and engaging. The level of control is not in the same level as Age of Empires or Warcraft - but if you're playing these kinds of games you really need not be concerned with farms and food and all that other Simcity kind of stuff. This game will give you what you're looking for - plenty of war, plenty of units and the quickest time into battle. If you've been around at the time of Broderbund's Ancient Art of War (1987-88) - you'll definitely like this game because it has many elements of that original game and amzing graphics to boot.
