Critic Reviews

G4 TV

80 / 100
"A little unmanageable when large opposing forces enter toe-to-toe melee combat. The front line becomes a clanging, tangled, dying mass of soldiers, and no player...

Computer Gaming World

80 / 100
"Praetorians never really achieves the gigantic scope of a "Total War" game, but it is more easily controlled and offers much more obvious tactical problems. [May 2003, p.95]"

GameSpy

79 / 100
"A lot of fun despite some serious missteps; the bad news is Praetorians falls far short of the greatness that it might have achieved."
