This game was awsome!!! If your looking for great battles and amazing sounds this is the game for you! i played this game for 15hrs. straight nonestop except to pee. the romans are the best country to use in the sword fighting age and the turks are best 2 use when u 1st get guns but the army that you should use when u get guns is germans particuraly because of there vasgrenadiers they can quickly blast down any army. 1 time I outnumbered my self agains the japanese. they had 50 units and i only had 40 but the vasgrenadiers won almost instantly. this game has epic battles and takes you on a jpurney 2 conquer the world. my 3 favorite features were:

(1) that it aloud you to make a scenario were as most games just make you play the normal game.

(2) that you have to raise resources to make stuff instead of makin everything when and were you need it.

(3) that there are nukes in this game so you can destroy the other army almost insatantly

ther was 1 thing i dident like though and its that the graphics arent the greatest but once you start playing you forget all about it!!!! just 1 more thing b4 i go PLAY THIS GAME ITS THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!

BEWARE OF THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't get me wrong, the graphics are quite nice in this game, but after being exposed to the beautiful artwork in Age of Mythology, they seem much to close to the graphics of Age of Kings. They are better than this, more color detail, but in essence, it is exactly the same. I was extremely disappointed in the nuclear missle graphic. I expected this to be very glorified, but it wasn't at all.

The campaign is excellent. There have been complaints of the campaign not having a story, but that's fine. You can find campaigns on the internet with a story. This one has multiple dimensions. You can play as France and unite Europe, or you can play as the Incas and unite with the French against the British. The campaign is turn-based as well, which may be a turn-off for some people (it was for me), but it actually makes it more easy to play and decide who to attack next.

The game adds a lot of depth and features that were attractive to many RTS players, but would never get because the whole idea of a turn-based game seemed awkward. Rise of Nations combines these features into a real-time strategy game, making it possibly one of the most advanced RTS games. It will take some getting used to however, because the resource system is completely redesigned and unique. Whether you play turn-based or real-time games, this game will take you some getting used to.

How Boring! History lesson?

Got ya in with the title...now I will give you a real reaction to the game. For the price it is right now, it is not worth it. I picked the game up fairly cheap in comparison. It is none-the-less a very well developed game, yet My history degree gets in the way...Yep I hear you calling me a nerd! Anyway... I get pretty into this game and Micro$ofts last release which was, Age of Mythology by Ensemble Studios in my opinion was a decent price for about the same magnitude of gaming, but does not have the options and controls that Rise of nations has. All in all I believe they are both games that are fun and make you strategize, but wait for the price to go down.

Most likely the greatest thing about Rise of Nations is the ability to pick it up whether you're familiar to real time strategy games or not. Also, the same concept applies for fans of the genre. That aside, every single gamer should own this game. Rise of Nations is just incredible. It has superb graphics, great story line, is fun to play all around, and has great tutorials. After the hundreds of video games I've played, Rise of Nations is my FAVORITE. It is impossible to describe the awesomeness of this game. If you're not a real time strategy game, you'll love this game so much that it will get you interested in the genre. If you're a RTS fan and you don't have this in your collection, I hereby consider one of the most ridiculous people ever to live. NO gamer should have any hesitation on picking up this game. There is not a single flaw about it. It's face paced, lengthy, and has a great multiplayer (you can go online with it for free)! This game is incredible and you will not be able to put it down. I can't wait for Rise of Nations: Throne and Patriots to come out (expansion pack).

best stratagy game on the market

rise of nations is not a clone of age of empires. it offers more ages from stone age to the information age. more troops technology, along with an awesome conquer the world play-mode,Long live Aztec dominance in euorope! With awesome troops, planes, ships, nukes pick from more than 15 countries with special ailities

Remember the days of tweaking autoexec to get game working?

Well, this game seems to take you back to those days. Really, i can't remember the last time i had to (...) with video settings to get a game to work! My system meets minimum requirements, and worked fine for about 10 hours, now i can't get it to run at all. So I searched online forums and this seems like a fairly common problem.

So unless you have fairly new hardware (and even that's no guarantee), prepare yourself for some pain. What a shame, cause the game seemed pretty fun. Microsoft should be ashamed of themselves for release such shoddy software, but then again, I guess that's what they do best...

Best Ever!!!!!!!

This is by far one of the best games like this that I have ever played.

Great game but not as good as Age of Empires
