I need a great RTS game

[wtd03]

Is rome total war any good? I haven't played an rts since star wars empire at war. I'm looking to get back into this genre but wanted one that is addictive and fun and has great graphics but is extremely addictive . What would you guys recommend?

 

[wtd03]

Anyone have an answer?

Starcraft 2 is one that comes to mind, especially given its recent expansion

Rome total war isn't exactly for those who prefer base building but the sheer scale of the game is amazing to say the least

Another game from the past few years which looks great and plays well would be Dawn of War 2 and its numerous expansions, smaller scale battles for sure, but they are visceral

There's also the recent Company of Heroes 2 you could look into, quite a demanding game with all of its graphical options cranked up

The Sins of a Solar Empire games are also worth checking out, the scale of the space battles in those games are breathtaking as well

Also depending on how many friends who play, popular MOBA games like DotA 2, HoN and LoL would also be a nice pastime for you (even though they aren't really RTS games per se)

Yeah you are right Starcraft 2 is good, also its probably one of the most know RTS games out there
