Outstanding game!!

User Rating: 9.1 | Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends PC
I haven't even played Rise of Nations. I've grabbed it several times in the stores, just to sit it back down and get something else. When RON Rise of Legends came out, I did the same thing...for about a week after it came out, then I had to get it. It seemed more interesting. So this review is written before I have experienced Rise of Nations. A lot of people are hating on Rise of Legends because it turned out a lot like RON. Well, if Rise of Nations is anything like Legends, I'm picking it up within the next few days.
I will start with the sound. The soundtrack is good. I just wish they had more tracks. The interactive sounds, such as when you select a unit, is overall good, except many units of a specific army sound the same. Explosions and god powers sound awesome.
As with any other RTS game, it's easy to learn about the different controls, however, it seems like every time I play, I learn something new.(I usually only play quick battle).Quick Battle mode is more fun than the Campaign in my opinion, but the Campaign mode is okay as well. It's almost like playing Risk. The graphics are great. You can zoom in to eyeball an individual unit, and can actually see him breathing.
I had gotten away from the boredom of RTS games for a while and started playing FPS games. This game is a refreshing bit of RTS gaming!!!
