Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom

It might be very similar to previous installments, but it's still the one in the series.

Funny how all games starting with Caesar look and feel the same. I use the term "funny" loosely, as it might actually get a little bit annoying. Still, any hard-playing fan will probably take comfort in the fact that no ... Read Full Review

Your typical civilization game. But with a large helping of chinese gleam.

A well polished game that's really hard not to admire the effort displayed. It takes the simple formula of build, pave, cultivate and expand and flavours it beautifully with the thriving culture of ancient china. The res... Read Full Review

Addictive and stimulating...But the same old city-building game. Definitely not for intense play.

History lovers out there should take a peek at this game. It is an interesting game if you wanna sit in front of your PC for hours on the end without having to sit at the edge of your seat. GRAPHICS: Nothing to say... Read Full Review

Emperor is much like Sim City. Build and watch, and then build a little more. It is set in old China, where religion and harmony play big roles. It is used an age-like system, but you can't advance through the ages like ... Read Full Review

A fun game that immerses you in humanity

Enjoyable and entertaining gameplay that city building sim fans will become addicted to.

If you have played "Zeus" or "Pharaoh" you are already familiar with the basics of the "Emperor." In this city building sim, you'll build industries, farm, trade, and compete against other cities. You'll also have to pay... Read Full Review

great game

It's a game that's really hard not to admire the effort and beauty of. It tries hard, it really does, and boy did it deliver. Unlike most strategy games it is more along the lines of creating a magnificent healthy city ... Read Full Review

Emperor is the latest and possibly last game in the City Builder Series, which started with Impression's Caesar, set in the time of the Roman Empire. Emperor, however, was not made by Impressions, but rather by BreakAway... Read Full Review
