Great game with pretty good graphics. Definitely worth a try.
It's a pretty good graphically wise game. Everything looks pretty good for a game that is almost 10 years old.
Gameplay: 9/10
It's a really fun game. You can build a huge army and attack other empires. You can instead maybe make treaties with the other empires and trade with them, whatever you want. I personally go for the army. Anyways, it's a good game that didn't get the publicity it deserved.
Lasting Appeal: 8/10
The campaign is pretty fun, not that long though but it is kind of long. Multiplayer doesn't work anymore so you can't play the multiplayer, but the campaign is pretty fun and the ability to create a game with your settings is pretty fun to.
Overall: 9.1/10
It's a really fun game that I would recommend. Definitely worth playing. Only bad thing is that the multiplayer doesn't work anymore, but it's not that big of a deal. Still a great strategy game.
