Extremely immersive and fun to play (unless you're terrible at it)

Introduction: I played this game for a many months, and finally got over it after many hours of lost sleep and abandonment of social activities. Gameplay: The shining beacon of this game was most certainly the gameplay. Commanding armies of thousands of men is just something that makes your heart pound. I have not much to add to what other reviewers have already said. Just buy the game!

Graphics: Even when they're zoomed in they are utterly gorgeous. The only complain would be some of the ground textures, but they're still quite amazing. The overworld map is done tastefully.

Sound: The sound effects in the battles are just excellent, but the overworld map's sound gets a wee bit repetitive after so many hours of playing, but thats my own fault for playing so much. MMORPGs are much worse with the music thing.

Value: you'll be playing this game for a very long time - way longer than civ 4. WAY longer.

Tilt: Since this very game caused me to become interested in history for over a year (and get A's all over) I'll have to give it a 10 since no game has ever inspired me as much as this one has. You'll feel like an emperor when you play this game - and it feels good. Recommended for: Historians, RTS players, Civ players... basically anyone who enjoys strategy (chess players very welcome)

Not Recommended for: People who dislike commanding thousands of soldiers in battle.

The difficulty varies tremendously on how difficult you make the computer, so I guess "just right" would be the most viable candidate.
