User Rating: 8.5 | Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome PC

Rise of Rome should have been named Rise of the True Historic Real Time Strategy. Every aspect of the game is just right, beginning from the gameplay to the AI. However like it's predecessor it falls a little flat when it comes to it's campaigns. It however improves on a little point known as queuing of unit production.
Addition of Caesar campaigns does however add up to the Roman atmosphere. The only drawback of this game was that it was limited only and basically to ancient wars.


The villagers are however still left topless. They are made to hunt animals with their bare hands. It's time they got some better weapons. One thing that I couldn't get hold of is the technology tree for any of the civilizations, which however becomes available in AOE2. Besides I personally didn't like the music.


However all that becomes irrelevant once you start immersing yourself into the game that has won a million hearts and has overworked millions of brains.
