 Rating: - Overlooking Rise of LegendsI would implore those reading this to think of buying this NOT so much for Rise of Nations as they would for buying Rise of Legends, with a throw in of the old "Rise of Nations." Rise of Nations, frankly, wasn't all that great. It wasn't much fun, and indeed was no more than a Microsoft knock off of the Age of Empires series.

Good tutorial, and fun if you'd like an AoE sidekick, with a similar though not very eye-popping interface. Rating: - Great buy!The reviewer who called this game boring totally missed out by playing only 1 out 5 of the campaigns. The Conquer the World campaign is fun, but yes it is the typical run of the mill RTS. But, the other campaigns have very different scenarios!

You would think this was the same as "Gold", but it is a different version and not compatible to play multiplayer "Gold". Rating: - Good enoughBuy this game if you love real-time-strategy, resource gathering and building games. It is one of the better ones available. If you do not like RTS then do not buy this game. Simple enough. |
