    Technically, this game is far from being inventive, but also far from being too demanding. The game takes place in highly detailed 2D environments. This also makes it possible to have huge number of units on the field. T... Read Full Review

    If the game worked it might be a good game. However, the game does not work with a number of chip sets found on many mother boards. Quote from Microsoft in the game readme file "Intel 740, 810, and 815 Chipsets: Attemp... Read Full Review

    In my opinion this game is the latest evolution of the Age of Empires/Mythology series. The graphics are decent and seem to improve after downloading the latest patch by connecting to multiplayer within the game. The g... Read Full Review

    It's somewhat pretty, but that's about it. The thing is, it's all been done before. There is nothing new here, nothing that we haven't seen a million times before, be it Age of Empires, WarCraft, Civilization, Command & ... Read Full Review

    Played the demo for about an hour and was hooked. Went out and plunked down my moola for the full retail version. The game has many enhancements that take to boredom and tedious aspects out of the typical strategy ga... Read Full Review

    There are some really good and interesting new concepts here that are definately worthwhile. The national borders in particular are a great way to beat the problem of rushers. But this game seems to have extremely limi... Read Full Review

    If you are only buying this game to use it mutliplayer than it deserves an eight rating but the single player games are horrible. The "Conquer the World" campaign is one of the most poorly written games I have ever seen... Read Full Review

    If there was one thing negative I could say about this fantastic title is that the maps seem just a tad too small. Other than that I think it's one of the best RTS games ever released. The resource collection/use syste... Read Full Review

    This game is one of the best RTS that I have ever played. It completely blows away Age of Empires, Age of Empirs 2 and Empire Earth. I also think its better than the recent civilization games. Also the low system require... Read Full Review
