Best RTS ever. Pros and cons on why.

User Rating: 9 | Rise of Nations: Gold Edition PC
By t3hShmo | Review Date:
People will prob disagree and say the Command and Conquer series are, but in my opinion, they've just become a Brand, Starcraft was fantastic, as Warcraft III, but they dont have the great depth and brilliance of this game, Old days to modern Age. anyways, time for my usual pros and cons.

Pros
Online, 8 Players, 95% of the time a Smooth FPS Rate so it glides, can be toned down to go on many pc's. Epic Battles, Nukes, AI, Wonders which you will race for, Stealth Bombers, Massive Cargo Ships, Battleships.. and thats only the modern Age!
Samurais, Rock Throwers.. Everything

Cons
Dont get Spartans or Scots, Poo.

I play a Lot of this, usual over lan, against 2 Bots on Tougher, as i despice Gamespy and rarely use it, a 2vs2 or 4 way battle can ever last over 3 hours
8 way battles could take alll night.

Truelly for Pros!
