    This is like crack cocaine. It has no redeeming social value, but it's addictive. The only real innovation is the shifting borders as you play, which is actually a very nice 'heads-up' alert for the single-minded pla... Read Full Review

    Well, just when I think the RTS genre is losing steam, Rise of Nations comes out and kicks me straight in the face. Rise of Nations is simply put one of the best games I've played this year. It mixes Risk with Age of ... Read Full Review

    This Game is somewhat addictive. Though there is no real main quest to this game no real point. They have a conquer the world game but is very long and very hard as you are put against the odds. They obviously did this o... Read Full Review

    Let me just say that when I first heard about this game, I was a bit skeptical. I mean, an RTS game that covered all the ages from the Ancient Age all the way to the Information age, sounded nearly unfeasible to me. I ... Read Full Review

    What an utter disappointment. I'm in shock that GameSpot gave this game such rave reviews. Firstly, the pace of this game is ridiculous, this game is simply a "click fest". This game does not even compare to games like A... Read Full Review

    This is an outstanding game. However The Frozen Throne is better. The main reasons I think so consist of (if these don't apply to you than this review is pretty much void to you): 1. More variety in FT with 4 differen... Read Full Review

    I find Rise of Nations to be incredibly.....fun...to play. The best aspect of the game to me is the interface. Everything is intuitive to the experienced players, (although there are a LOT of keyboard shortcuts) and th... Read Full Review

    I have been waiting a long time for a game like this. Just think of this as Risk and when you invade a nation instead of rolling the dice you fight it out in a map. That is a huge appeal of the game, so if you do not b... Read Full Review

    Rise of nations takes an interesting view of the combination of Real-Time Strategy (RTS) and Turn-Based Strategy (TBS) genres. The TBS plays like Risk with bonus cards and the way the continents are divided up. Also ... Read Full Review
