Review - Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends

In this review, I take a look at the successor to Big Huge Games' excellent RTS "Rise of Nations."

ESRB Rating: Teen (13+) - Violence, Blood and Gore

I experienced the same problem I had with my Civilization 4 review (the video stopping)... and the worst part was that it was on a battle sequence. I'm really sorry about that.

To clarify my review scores (they're "rough" scores, meaning it's not supposed to be some sort of percentage or anything):
1 or lower = Terrible. Avoid at all costs.
1.5 = Has a few redeeming qualities, but still sucks and should be avoided.
2 = Mediocre (Sub-par). You'll probably want to avoid this one.
2.5 = Underwhelming, but playable.
3 = Average. Worth playing, but probably not at full price.
3.5 = Good, but has issues.
4 = Excellent, but has a few problems that could probably be fixed through patching.
4.5 = Exceptional. Better than 4 but still has a few problems that could be ironed out.
5 = Outstanding. Stuff in this category is pretty much "must own."

But rate it one to ten? (any one)

[DWTerminator]

No.

[Greeeetings]

Man alin is one of the most powerful ones It takes a long time to upgrade their units the basic unit bet when it is upgraded they are afully strong much stronger than vinci

[DWTerminator]

Individually, Alin units won't be able to stand up to Vinci ones. You have to rely on using numbers to overwhelm them.

does this go through the ages like rise of nations all i see is future like stuff not hateing on it just wanting to know cuz that was one of my favoret parts of rise of nations

[DWTerminator]

No, it doesn't have age advances. You advance your cities' "level" instead.

[earthbenderguard]

This game should get more attention! :(

[DWTerminator]

That's the idea. They're named the Vinci for that specific reason.

@360dudex They seem to get most of thier ideas of Age of Mythology, a game made in 2003 by essentialy the same companys

[sompri]

This game sucked compared to the first.

[Dreadpirate404]
