 Great follow up to rise of nations September 7, 2008
J. Nilsson (Idaho Falls, ID)
Great game for an RTS. I really liked Rise of Nations and Rise of Legends didn't disappoint. Highly reccomended.
 A significant disappointment August 28, 2008
Kevin Meade (CT USA)
Stopped playing after 1/3 the way through. Why bother. I have consistenly not liked the MS games anyway so I guess I should not have been surprised. There are many with opinions contrary to mine so I guess my best adivce is to see if there is a demo and if so, download an play it first. Maybe it will suite your tastes.
 Another of Microsoft's unwanted stepchildren May 22, 2008
John Lin (Indianapolis, IN United States)
The game is old enough to still come on a stack of CDs rather than a DVD, and the support for the game is dismal. Between Microsoft's lackluster marketing attempts, and the difficulty experienced by hundreds, including myself, to apply patches, this game was clearly an afterthought to Microsoft. The campaigns storyline is engaging, and the gameplay is a fun twist on a tired theme. The added gameplay elements manage to be complex without being complicated. Sadly, the storyline is halting and sporadic. The cut scenes feel ill timed and disruptive. It feels rushed, as if the production budget were cut. Between this and that the terrible support, this is a good title, but belongs in the bargain bin.
I paid for this!! May 12, 2008

Rise Of Nations: Rise of Legends is suppose to be a remake of the glorious rise of nations but Big Huge games failed. Basically the game comes down to moving your one army around to defeat the enemy.Almost every territory you invade is capture or destroy the enemy capital.Unit A.I. in my opinion is horrible some units get stuck or scatter when you ask them to move around mountain or city.There is not much strategy to the game either it merely consist of building a large army and attacking the enemy.In some cases you don't even have to do that each time you invade a territory you have a certain amount of units you start with, and in the beginning it is easy to destroy your enemy.The games graphics may b the only thing thats saves it. I do enjoy the building animations and the mist that occurs when you go to the top of a mountain.But this can only be viewed by med-To high end graphics cards. Anything below a geforce 5700 or ati 9550 may not be able to experience the full depth of the game.
The sound is average as with most games don't expect explosions to sound as if they were happening were your sitting.
In closing statements if you buy a game based on its looks then it is for you if you buy a game based on gameplay and looks buy something else.
 Awesome imaging real good game play. January 5, 2008

You'll need a high end graphics card. If you turn the image quality in the game to maximum you'll see the intricate detail they've used to build this game. Lower end cards will work but you don't get the full 'picture'. Zoom action show intense high quality imaging.
Game play allows for the player to watch the action without the need to speed all over the map trying to reinforce armies.
