Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After playing some other strategy games online, I decided that I was ready to actually buy one.So I was off in search of finding one that was good, and while I was at the store one day came across Empires: Dawn of the Modern World.Unlike most games that I have bought in the past, I didn't install this game untill about two weeks after purchasing.However when I did install it I got an error message saying that the game key was invalid.I tried many times, still the samething.So in my frustration I called customer service.At first the customer service rep asked if I was typing in caps or lower case, then he told my to email them my system details.Come to find out I didn't have the right video card that supported the graphics for this game.I have since upgraded my video card and reinstalled the games...and have been playing ever since.
Despite having to upgrade my computer just to use this game might seem to be a hassle to same, but hey, after all I would have had to of upgraded anyway.So now for the real meat and potatoes.
As I have mentioned earlier I had played other war strategy games online(renting them online), I have played both Rise of Nations and Age of Empires II using this service.And I must say that Empires is a better game as far as graphics and game play is concerned.The 3D graphics are very good and you can zoom in closer then in other games.
Now for the game play, Empires goes from Medieval up to World War II.You can chose between England(UK for WWI and WWII), the Franks(France), Korea, China, the United States, Russia and Germany.Each civilization is unique, for example if you chose England and start off during the Medieval Age then you can build a mind on a site that has either gold or stone.However if you chose the Franks, you will have to have several villagers mind the gold instead.Building walls around your town center is highly recommended if you don't want your civilization to be invaded.There are three campaigns to choose from: Richard the lionheart, Captain Xi, and General Patton, these campaigns take a long time to complete...I still haven't finished Richard's campaign yet.
I would have given Empires a whole five stars, but there are a few things that I think that it can improve upon, thus only four stars.The civilizations are only available up to a certain point; if starting from the Medieval time and you chose England, by the time that you reach WWI you will have to choose a Modern civilization i.e. the UK.Another thing that I feel is a disappointment in this game is lack of options for the civilizations.Example being you can't choose the USA to start off during the Medieval time (for obivous reasons) but it would be nice if they had the colonies as an option instead of the USA only being available from WWI and on.
Overall I recommend Empires: Dawn of the Modern World, despite it's few draw backs.I have certainly enjoy playing this game as a single player and as a multiplayer, playing against friends.
