My boyfriend bought this game over the weekend, and I ended up buying it the next day (2 days ago). I love it! I've played it so much that I've been having dreams about it for 2 nights. I know, I'm a nerd. I used to play Command and Conquer:Red Alert a lot when I was younger, so I was very excited that this game has come along! It's so much fun to strategize and feel that rush of adrenaline and to conquer the world (virtually). HIGHLY recommend this game! It's GREAT!

Great game - great price one of the best RTS games

I think this game is way awsome! I love rushing my age and dominating the other teams with my army of warriors. I also love the upgrades for your units and buildings. One more thing I love about this game is that you can build monuments that upgrade your army and sometime supplie you with recorcous. I highly recomend this game for all ages. Also check out the expansion for this game.

Rise of Nations Gold: Best RTS Game?

Let me start off by saying this game is great, it has its flaws like any other, but overall it is better than most anything out there. Its got the thrill of a war game, with the fun of a strategic civilization bulding game, with some nice graphics to go along with it.

GRAPHICS:
-The graphics in RON Gold are about what you would expect for a game of this genre. The attention to detail, however, is highly unique. Each civilization type has its own appropriate building designs. Each troop type has its own distinct look, and the same troop types of different nations vary in looks. Overall, I give the graphics a 9/10.

SOUND:
-I have to say, I find the sound for this game amazing. The range of gunfire, swordfights, jets, nukes, missiles, even the sound of hammers as civilians construct buildings is overwhelmingly great. The sounds are also in sync with the game, on certain other rts games, the sound is a bit off, but not here! Along with the actual gameplay sounds, there is music, and built in phrases that you can access by typing in a number in the chat window. Each number corresponds to a different phrase. Ex. 100=They keep on rising!...28=Of course you realize, this means war!. Overall I give the sound on this game a 10/10.

GAMEPLAY:
-Rise of Nations Gold has by far the best game play of its genre. Very smooth gameplay, thrilling battles, and most importantly it is fun! As far as your troops go, they each have their own individual lives, so if your army clashes with your opponents army, the battle could come down to one troop. Overall I give the Gameply a 10/10.

REPLAYABILITY:
-The many game types of Rise of Nations will keep you busy for awhile. There is Conquer the World, in which you choose a nation and battle to control the entire earth. There is Quick Battle in which you control a nation on one single map and develop your nation into an economical powerhouse, or a military superpower, or both! Even within the different game types there are many many many different options of game types, such as within quick battle, you can choose to play deathmatch, raid, economic race, barbarians at the gate, etc. However, once you do everything in the game, it will become a bit tedious. But it will take months upon months before you do everything. Overall I give Replayability a 6/10.

MONEY VALUE:
-This game is highly worth the money. It is infact in my opinion a huge bargain. I HIGHLY recommend you buy this game as soon as you can. You will not be disappointed. I rate money value 10/10.

OVERALL:
- Overall, this is the best game in its genre, nothing can top it. It has won game of the year honors from many different organizations and magazines. As they have all rated it before, I give this game an overall rating of 10/10.

--Thanks for Reading my Review. Happy Gaming!

Must Get!

The game is similar to Age of Empire and Empire Earth, but you will find 24 unique civilizations and many different buildings for each group. I am putting 4 stars, because the game have poor zoom system, but the AI is very configurable (Defensive or Aggresive Civilization) and you will play a Entire World champaign, from Prehistoric Age until last one.

Best Strategy Game in quite a while

This game is addictive and can really change with one's selection of nation and what game level one would like to play. The graphics are super and the game play responsive. A great LAN party game, as players can compete with either the computer or other players on the network. Beats Civilization for game play and not as "goary" as some conflict games (such as Wolfenstein).
