addictive action, Empire mode a delight
Split screen is a delight my wife cant get enough and i assure you its difficult to get her to play games with me, even though I only stick to the males and my wife sticks with the females theres enough variety between them to want to rank up every char just to see its moves.
The difficulty and learning curve is just right with enough difficulty options to suit most people and as your own skill goes up and when you discover you can unlock more options as you play the game it becomes a driving force. Empire mode is where the game shines, having full control over tactics and how your empire is run is probally the key to this games success without slowing it down with to much micro management.
The fact my wife plays it to rate it even higher with me specially when it gets released @ $69 you cant go wrong
