 Well-balanced, complex strategyAug 04, 2008
By J. Loscheider
"No one knows I'm a radical"
I hate the phrase "Total Package" but it is apt in this expanded "Rise of Nations" dual-disc package.
The original game was good - and very frustrating. The computer will neither lay down and let you roll over it, nor simply overwhelm you. It will, however, put up a heckuva good fight.
Even with overwhelming force, attrition plays such a large part of the damage your invading units receive that by the time the opponent is beat, you'll not have much left to mount an effective attack.
In short, this is a strategy game that really makes you think ahead.

Rise of Nations Thrones and PatriotsJan 21, 2008

Rise of Nations: Thrones & Patriots
I purchased this for my grandson for Christmas. He loved it. I had to fight to get him to turn it off. He is 12. This follows along the same lines as Age of Empires (Age of Kings) Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings

Very good gameMar 24, 2009
By J. Peterson
At times there are very negative reviews on this game because the graphics don't meet the expectations of certain individuals. I would strongly disagree with those views. While there aren't top-notch graphics in this game, they are still very nice. The user interface is excellent. Very easy to learn, and VERY addicting. It is already a classic RTS game, and for very good reason. The included expansion pack does a nice job of improving the experience without taking anything away from the original appeal of the game.

Just what I was hopingSep 29, 2007
By Wendy Beck
Just have to say that the American civ fits with my style of gameplay so well that it has really increased the fun of the game. So much so that I have yet to try any of the other new civs. I keep meaning to, but . . .
Choosing governments has been executed very well, too, and I think it's a definite plus. I'd look forward to that concept expanded somewhat in a sequel . . .

Great Game, Endless FunFeb 10, 2009
By Joseph Oliver
This is a great set. The original game is great to begin with but the expansion was even better. This game continues to be pulled out and re-installed and I have yet to find a game that matches it in playability and entertainment.
