Could have been a great game with a little more variety !
User Rating: 7 | Empire: Total War PC
I absolutely love the TW series and every game that has come out for it. While Empires looks great, is set in an amazing period in history, and has sweet naval battles... The lack of variety is an absolute killer. Once you have fought three or four battles you have fought them all. On top of that there are so many issues plaguing the game that it kind of ruins the experience. On multiple occasions I have defeated the enemy as an attacker in a battle routing their entire army and subsequently not winning. Then I am forced to wait till time expires and I lose. There are very few special units and they are relatively uninteresting. The campaign maps is pretty sweet and I like the new ideas and the way some of the old ones are implemented this time around. I want to love this game and it is good but not great there is just too much missing or broken!
