    By WilOTheWisp | Review Date: Jun 17, 2003 | PC

    Best RTS since Chris Taylor's Total Annihilation in 1997. Rise of Nations even blows away Empire Earth, which I felt was much better done than the AOE series. There are many, many reasons why this game is worth picking ... Read Full Review

    I'll be honest -- I feel like a moron for plunking down full retail price for a game that's essentially just a polished up version of Age of Empires II. I truly tried to hold off on this one -- I convinced myself over an... Read Full Review

    After reading the other reviews of this game, I decided to put my two-cents in. First off, this is just another of the same type game of AOE, Civilization, and the like but with a Risk board game style. In this respect... Read Full Review

    The game does work on 815 chipset because it's working for me. I dont think MOST people would be using the motherboard gfx despite what some negative reviewers have stated. If the game isnt working on 815 then buy a gr... Read Full Review

    In short, this game had great potential, but a few glaring issues really limit its success. I always enjoy the game's initial stages of buildup, spreading your territory, and minor skirmishes with enemy explorers a... Read Full Review

    No actual tactics. You can't build walls! Too much generic RTS gameplay to hold interest.

    By dryden555 | Review Date: Jun 01, 2003 | PC

    Terrain doesn't matter as a tactical consideration, which is very disappointing. So putting archers on the crest of a hill doesn't give them any bonus that I can see. It feels like you are playing the game on a flat 2D... Read Full Review

    This is the best RTS game that I have played to date. The game play is challenging, enjoyable and well thought about by the designers of the game. The graphics and sound are both excellent. I like the fact that there ... Read Full Review
