User Rating: 8.3 | Rise of Nations PC
The depth of this game is its strong point. BHG took a long time looking at their history books! In addition, it appears to me that BHG also did their homework looking at other RTS games and listening to RTS players from expert to rookies and picked up on the features that gamers were looking for. The graphics aren't quite as good as AoM or some of the other titles out right now- this seems to be about its only shortcoming. But the true test will be in its multiplayer. So far the interface looks pretty user friendly and the servers seem stable, but we'll see what happens when the servers get loaded with players (anyone else have Empire Earth collecting dust on their shelf?).
