Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends

User Rating: 7.7 | Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends PC

I enjoyed the demo immensely and bought the game with high expectations. The game graphics are great (though the cut scenes are a bit wanting), but the campaign was disappointing, the first one being the most interesting and challenging. But there are lots of Quick Battle scenarios to keep you going for a long time.

I would like to have seen much more variety in the campaign scenarios. I have yet to see how you can develop the highest level buildings and equipment in the campaigns, but I may have just missed that the first time through. I am playing it a second time, so that is something.
