Rating:  - I would highly recomemd for strategy inthusist
If you like strategy games then this one is for you. It keeps you absorbed for hours. Amazon delivered my game promptly and at a great price too! I also bought the expansion pack Kings and Patriots.
Rating:  - repetitive and personality changing
When I first bought this game it was pretty fun. It has nice graphics.After about one and a half months it started to be repetitive and I was getting tired of killing people. I stopped playing it. Then my 7 year old younger brother became addicted to it. Finaly my mom had to take it away from him. He has never been the same since.
Rating: - Better than empire earth...
Many reviewers have made mention of the civ games and certainly there is an element of that you don't find in almost any other RTS that is not a reason to buy this. It's my belief and i could be wrong that this is the first microsoft RTS to span the whole epoch of human history. AOE was limited to certain eras starting obviously with ancient civilizations in AOE 1 but empire earth came out with a game that spans them all and that is the main object of this game.

Rating: - clumsy game
One second, there is too much to do. The next, you are waiting around to collect a resource to research or build something. Citizens needing to be told to go to work when there are open slots at your mines or woodcutting area is tedious and not fun. Having to research at seven different buildings instead on a single area is a poor idea. The AI does not need to search to find just the right building (which all look very similar) to study something, so why should the player?

Rating: - Boring, but good presentation.
Rise of Nations does not have a storyline. It is a strategy game in which it is YOUR job to pick everything. Any missions out there are only for learning.
This game is a little boring after a while, however the game itself has a splendid presentation and good music. it is nice just to sit back, relax, and listen to the music.
