Worth playing, but not great.

User Rating: 7.7 | Imperial Glory PC
If you can manage to save yourself $50 and not buy this game right away, you will be better off. This game is worth getting if you can trade it from a friend or wait until you can get it at a discounted price. The game is a little redundant and at times you sit and do nothing but wait. That being said, there is a lot of very fun features to this game and patience isn't such a bad thing to have. If you want a really fast RTS, this isn't it, but there is still plenty of reason to try it. Strategy wise, you will feel like you are playing a slightly cheaper version of Rome: Total War since it has many similar features, though it does not equal the overall feel. Historically the game does not exactly teach you anything, those looking to follow along a story line that is historically accurate will be disappointed. What this game is good for is a challenge and a few days of passing the time in between the games you can't live without.
