A demo of Medieval 2: Total War has snuck out, which you can grab locally from AusGamers. The demo includes 2 single player historical Battles and a tutorial (thanks Rips#).

Half a gig, for a demo. Here goes!

Demo contains 2 Single Player Historical Battles, a Tutorial and a Teaser Movie.

This game is going to be fantastic. Well done Creative Assembly, good to see that our local Brisbane studios are pumping out games of such world class quality.

Heh, I was like "wow, it's only half a gig". I remember downloading Wolf3d shareware and going "6 whole MEGABYTES, what is IN this thing!@#!?"

Ta rips, updated

w00t
I've loved every game in the total war series, they are always very awesome.
Now it's just a matter of waiting for iinet to mirror it those beztards

I'm looking forward to this, but I really wish they would redo Shogun, the genre is great but the old version needs a shot in the arm.

i don't think the demo is released yet. but i played it yesturday and its ABSOLUTLY FREEKING AWESOME LOOKING!

can't wait.

haha, what, are you stupid?

check the requirements on the offical site. It is half a gig you know.

It'd be nice if Ausgamers posted the system requirements for this demo in it's description, like they usually do for most demos.

If we do, it's a total coincidence - we just paste in the README if it's available. This is a publisher problem not releasing useful information with their demos, not our problem.

trog, what about the readme in the installation ;)

I install probably about 0.01% of the files I actually mirror, and that's estimating on the high side!

Feels surprisingly fresh.

I played the tutorial battle. pretty cool, different to anything else ive played. liked it better than the typical stategy game.
