What Gamespot Users have to say about Rise & Fall: Civilizations at War

  • Rating:6.2

    Bargain Bin Game

    Outdated graphics engine, simplistic controls and strategy concept, horrible scripting, and more! Don't know what the average age of people reviewing this game are, but have they never played any of the total war series?... Read Full Review

    The future of RTS games has just arrived, and it looks amazingly good!

    I haven't seen a truly comprehensive, balanced review of this game by the "professionals" on any of the gaming sites. That must be because the "professionals" have a quota to meet, since they clearly haven't played this... Read Full Review

    It is absolutely stunning!

    In my opinion this game holds true to both gameplay and combining an RTS with a third person action game. Has never been created as good as this game. Therefore I enjoyed controlling four different civilizations battling... Read Full Review

    THE GAME IS VARY GOOD BUT IT COULD BE BETTER

    think this is one of the best RTS games of all time! I don’t no why gamespot rated it so low, i have lost all respect for Gamespot they just don’t seem to like RTS games. It sounds like the reviewer has been playing it f... Read Full Review

    Its not the best, but its definetly good (and I dont like most games.)

    Dont let the bad reviews scare you, you will get your moneys worth out of this game. Its relatively simple compared to some other rts' when it comes to resources (just wood and gold), but the land and sea battles are som... Read Full Review

    Not what I was hoping for. This game is not anything amazing.

    I got this game just yesterday, and I honestly must say I am disappointed. I stopped playing this game already and went back to Battlefield 2, Rome: Total War, World of Warcraft, and some others. This game tries to have ... Read Full Review

    Not quite Civ IV, Not quite Savage, Not quite FUN.

    This is one of those games which immidiatly strikes you as a good idea that has been explored by bigger and better games. It also tries to be many things for many people, but not in the way that most people want. I think... Read Full Review

    Would be GREAT if it did not follow the old path of real-time-strategy

    I don't know how to describe it. I have waited for this game to come out for a long time, though good, it is not as great as I expected. The graphic is good, if you have a good PC. Try turn the water detail to max... Read Full Review

    Breathtaking, an epic masterpiece of unscaled proportion

    This is undoubtedly the most eye catching game of the 2006 game season so far. This, my gaming fellows, is nothing short of giving Midway a great reputation in the gaming community. Easily, the most recognizable acheiv... Read Full Review
