Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great buy!
The reviewer who called this game boring totally missed out by playing only 1 out 5 of the campaigns. The Conquer the World campaign is fun, but yes it is the typical run of the mill RTS. But, the other campaigns have very different scenarios! For example, the Cold War campaign (my favorite) brings alot of historical perspective as you choose between propping up puppet governments or supporting rebel uprising, seeking appeasement with the Russians or going for all out nuclear war.

This game is a great buy, especially at the current price. I played it nonstop for 2 months and I break it out for about a week or two every couple of months.

Big Note: Don't lose the product key!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Rise of Nations "Gold"
This item was advertised as Rise of Nations Gold, but it really wasn't! This CD contained Rise of Nations and Rise of Nations Thrones and Patriots. You would think this was the same as "Gold", but it is a different version and not compatible to play multiplayer "Gold".



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good enough
Buy this game if you love real-time-strategy, resource gathering and building games. It is one of the better ones available. If you do not like RTS then do not buy this game. Simple enough.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A really excellent strategy game
I just love these kinds of games. What I particularly loved about this game is the history aspect, that you can choose an age and stick with that age the whole game and not having to advance to the modern world every time. It's just so much fun to see my soldiers use muskets, catapults or these planes they used a hundred years ago. What I also like alot about this game is the fact that gathering resources wasn't made into a chore, like if you chop down a forest you have to go and find another one. Not so here. When you find a forest it seems to be a forest that lasts forever (I guess the lumberers planted a new tree when they fell one, hehe). This make you focus on building your nation.

This game is very well made but there are some negative sides to it. When a higher age is played, like the industrial revolution or the modern era, the various units look a little too much alike when you don't count the special units. When you want to play Americans vs Russian in the modern era they don't look that much different. But the fun of the game is so high that normally you don't think about this.

I would recommend this game to all who like historic strategy games.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Solid strategy game that you can keep coming back to play
Rise of Nations is mix between city building and historical strategy. You can guide your nation through from ancient time to the present. It doesn't have the full complexity of a Civilization, but it what lacks in complexity, it compensates with the greater control/flexibility in city/civilization building. Unlike most of the Microsoft games of this type, it still was interesting to me after mastering it. If you like strategy and city building games, I highly recommend it.

Speaking of Mini DisplayPort, here's another entry from Apple in the shipping hall of shame. They're shipping the five-inch Mini-DiplayPort-to-DVI adapter in a box that's bigger than the MacBook's. Check out the waste.

As Kevin notes, it might seem nitpicky, but when you compare this to how much Apple boasts on the MacBook's green packaging, it is kind of jarring:

"The new MacBook packaging is up to 41 percent smaller than the previous generation. And smaller boxes are much better for the planet. Because smaller boxes mean we can fit more boxes on each shipping pallet — up to 25 percent more. Which means more products will fit on each boat and plane. Which means fewer boats and planes are used, resulting in fewer CO2 emissions. It’s just one seemingly minor change. But it has a major positive impact on our environment."

Surely they've got a smaller box lying around somewhere. If not, we hope they transition all of their shipping boxes to a greener variation—not just to align them with Apple's own standards and goals, but to set an example for the rest of the industry. [jkOnTheRun]
