    Completely unrealistic. This game has a ww2 missile (v-2 rocket) do more damage than a atomic bomb

    Completely unrealistic. This game has a ww2 missile (v-2 rocket) do more damage than a atomic bomb. That and a v-2 rocket can be shot down even though it should travel faster than sound. Also in... Read Full Review

    Average, very average. Played this game right after i finished Rome:Total war (now thats a fantastic game)

    Maybe that was Empires: Dawn of the Modern World downfall because i decided to play it right after playing a truly magnificent game as Rome:total war is. Or maybe the fact i played this game three years after it was fir... Read Full Review

    Very good game, just that no one plays because of poor marketing.

    pretty in all areas except the sound. There were some balancing issues but it gets fixed by patches. Sadly, company abandoned this game because there weren't enough buyers.... I've had some great times online playing ... Read Full Review

    Last good RTS.

    If you like games like AoE, EE (not EE2), or RoN, you will love Empires. I for one can't believe that they did not keep working on it as in an xpac. The gameplay for the game is great. It isn't too hard, but it isn'... Read Full Review
