At times I hate it, at times I love it.
Gameplay- 8/10- Like Age Of Empires, but sooo much better. It's fun to jerk up stats of units to your liking.
Graphics- 2/10- Awfull. Even some PS1 games have better graphics. Hell, some Atari games have better graphics.
Sound- 7/10- Really bad soundtrack, but very good sfx
Value- 7/10- Lots to do. Good multiplayer, and the map editor won't bore you in a hurry
It's a really good game. Theres lots to do, and unlike Age Of Empires, It goes beyond Roman Times. Right up to the future
