As the title says. Money isn't really a concern because the price has already dropped down a fair bit, but I have quite a lot of games to play yet and various other things to do. So, is the game exceptional enough to give it a go?

No, to put it bluntly. I saw it sold nearby with a discount, bought it, installed it, played it for half an hour, and gave it a wide berth. Now it's somewhere in this house, gathering dust.
So, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, and I'm not known for being picky with my games.

No, it isn't really fun. I ended up playing through once and then dumping it. The plot is dull and the gameplay invariably ends up with you continuosly training and throwing large armies at the enemy and grinding him down.

If you see it for less than 15€ then go get it, otherwise avoid.
