I love this game. No dought about it. THe game has stunning graghics and real world things in everthing. THe 3D models are perfect and the models for planes and troops are amazing. I bought this game and i worship it. I have owned since it came out and it still is better than som eof my more modern games. I love this game and i would recomend it for anyone willing to rule a game and continent.

Extremely well done, no framerate problems

All I have to say is, this is the best game of its type. They done it right.,Because the framerate is excellent,especailly when looking at your recorded playbacks. Rise of nation is good except, when looking at the recorded playbacks, fast forward doesn't work that well, and the framerate drops dramatically, over a period of time

Another Age of Empires 2 imitation

I bought this game thinking it would be innovative and extremely cool, very different of Empire Earth, the game before this. But I got disppointed. This game is just another copy of Age of Empires 2, it doesn't innovate anything.
You can chose to play from the Middle-Ages to WWII, but none of the ages are cool. This is becouse of the stupid things in this game, for example a man taking shot of a tank and do not dying, or being hit by a cannon and the same thing happens. The game characters are always being hit and can't even notice that, they take shot and keep walking. Archers, cannons and anything that can shoot always hits their targets. Soldiers are bigger than airplanes.
These factors appear also in many other rts before this one, but repeating the same mistakes is very stupid.

There are better, but this is worth getting

I have played many Empire-esque games and I view this as one of the better ones. It is, unlike it's predeccessors totally based around war and that is very good as that's all you ever want to do anyway.
I'll just give you this advise, get it if you like this genre as there are few better, but for someone buying the first of the genre I advise you shop around for a better starter game as this one rather assumes the buyer is familiar with the genre already (I'm using the word genre a lat aren't I?)
Anyway, have a look at some of the other review for contrasts of opinion...
I hope I've been of use, Toodle Pipskie (is that how you spell it?)

I really like this game! But the one thing I dont like is when you sometimes drop a bomb on someone, that person doesn't die. All the other stuff is OK

an ok game, but needs major improvments!

Empires is an ok game, but it has its drawbacks. one, the only surface warship for WW1and 2 is a battleship. no destroyers or such. very few nations, few ages, not at all like Empire Earth 2! the game is freguently choppy, and isnt musch fun if every thing is jerky. i reccommend a lot of RAM for this game. another thing: u cant make more that 3 airports which can hold 15 aircraft! that is sooooooooooooooo agrivating! aaarrggghhh!! the campaignes are ok too, but are kind of confusing. overall, its kind of fun, but could be alot better! ONLY BUY THIS GAME IF U WANT OK EXPERIENCE OR HAV VERY FAST COMPUTER! IF NOT, BUY SOMETHING ELSE!

Supurb Multiplayer Experience

Just a friendly note, Empires has supurb multiplayer, definately 5 stars for an RTS game, wether your playing a skirmish against the computer or over internet or LAN. The only downside to the multiplay is that there is a bug which makes you unable to make any buildings or units in the begining of each round. No patch has yet fixed it, and I encountered this bug roughly 1/5 of all the times I started a multiplayer round
The single player campaign on the other hand is a complete forgetable monotone. Buy this game for the excelent multiplayer which I can guarentee will not dissappoint you.

Different Name Same Game

Think before you buy folks, think about you've bought this type of game before, they added some new graphics, a touch up on the interface and basically just cut a portion out of the origional Empires and now are charging you another full fee for the same type of gameplay.

If you have a handful of RTS games already, especially the origional Empires or RON or Age of Mythology or Warlords III, etc. etc. Unless you are just a fan(atic) for RTS games, you're just going to be spending extra money for nothing much extra.

But, for RTS fan(atics) who just can have enough RTS games on their hard-drive, then of course nothing I say is going to stop you. But, hopefully those with slim pocket books will think twice and wait for this one to hit the bargain bin in about six months.

For those about to get real, we salute you . . .

This game is okay, but it's basically an improved Empire Earth. What doesn't get improved is the gameplay or the graphics. Empire Earth seemed to require a lot of wall building to finagle a win and this game is no different. Personally, Age of Empires and Rise of Nations have much better graphics. Don't get me wrong, the game's not bad, but it's not Command&Conquer Generals: Zero Hour. Now THAT's a great game.

Horrible game, the graphics are weak, the game play is slow and the game does not measure up. Do not waste your money. I bought the game off the reviews I read here and I am so dissapointed. I am a heavy gamer and I by 2-3 games a month. By C & C generals & the Zero hour expansion. You will be much happier. Thumbs down for this game I should have bought the Lord of the rings game :(
Cheep game for sale!
