Mount And Blade Warband, the newest in the series is damn good, controls are easy to learn, and the combat is good aswell. The game can be a little repetitive at times, doing the same thing over and over.
Overall rating for the game: 8/10.
The game is also very customizable, and with fun mods for the game like 'L'aigle' and 'Genkokujo'.
Multiplayer? I would recommend playing single player, or atleast the tutorial, though multiplayer isn't really the star of he show.
Absolute final rating is 200 dead samurais out of blue.
