I don't trust demos much they just show you the surperb intro and let u play the best ingame mission and don't show you the lisfespan or the flaws of the game well thats my opinion

I have played this game extensively and I have to say no, it is not worth it to upgrade for just this game. It is not as good as Medieval was and suffers from a lot of bugs. There is a major patch in the works that is being hyped almost as much as the game itself but we will need to wait and see what it offers.
Don't get me wrong Rome: Total War is a good game but the many bugs make it frustrating and the lack of certain basic features (like an overview of what all your cities are producing) makes it teadious at times.

The Demo covers only a small portion of the game (the combat). There are a few mods for the demo that let you pick your own army and fight on either map that is in the demo.

I agree, the best way to find out if a game is really worth your money is to ask fellow gamers.I hope this thread will grow in time with such requests(if enough accumulate maybe i'll pin it)
Great idea xcom k:

Not entirely sure where this would belong but it certainly should not be in Blah blah blah.
