Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Bladestorm: The Hundred Years War brings to life the intensity and drama of a war-torn Medieval Europe featuring a rich tapestry of legendary characters including Joan of Arc and Prince Edward, the Black Prince.

Utilizing a next-generation game engine, the game's armies collide on the battlefield at an unprecedented scale. Countless numbers of men consumed with ferocious intensity converge on screen, where tactics and cunning combine with valor and might to determine who is left standing at the end of the day. The game puts players in the role of a rogue commander and gives them direct control of mercenary units in fierce clashes with English and French forces. You must adjust strategies as skirmishes evolve, and then deploy the unit best-suited to handle the challenge. Game progression is wholly dependent on a player's decisions and accomplishments on the battlefield.

I thought this game was good, not great but I saw the potential for so much more out of it. The premise is outstanding, and the feeling you get smashing a frenchman is like no other! In all seriousness though this is a rental only the character selection is extrememly limited and judging by the initial cut scene I wanted much more out of the graphics. There is just something about it though that wont let you put it down, and being a fan of real history it kind of gives you that real flavor. With a mix of insane fantasy lol.
