Incredible and has had me staring at the computer screen for hours.
User Rating: 9.2 | Empires: Dawn of the Modern World PC
Somewhat of a remake of Age of Empires, Empires takes place over 5 main points in history. Medieval, Gunpowder, Imperial, WW1 and WW2. For the first 3 ages there are 4 different civilizations: Franks, England, Korea, and China. Then when you get into WW1 and WW2, you get 5 different civilizations: USA, United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Russia. When I first got this game I was disappointed by the campaigns but noticed the brilliance of the skirmishes. Each civilization has their own units and different powers. For instance the French can draft their citizens and make them infantry. The buildings are the same for each civilization, but with everything else you don't even notice it. The thing that I like about this game the most is whether your in the mood for some hack and slash in the Medieval age or looking for a long line of British muskets you can have it all with Empires.
