5.0 out of 5 stars Well-balanced, complex strategy, August 4, 2008
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Rise of Nation, including Thrones & Patriots Expansion Pack (DVD-ROM)
I hate the phrase "Total Package" but it is apt in this expanded "Rise of Nations" dual-disc package.

The original game was good - and very frustrating. The computer will neither lay down and let you roll over it, nor simply overwhelm you. It will, however, put up a heckuva good fight.

Even with overwhelming force, attrition plays such a large part of the damage your invading units receive that by the time the opponent is beat, you'll not have much left to mount an effective attack.

In short, this is a strategy game that really makes you think ahead.

Rise of Nations: Thrones & Patriots
I purchased this for my grandson for Christmas. He loved it. I had to fight to get him to turn it off. He is 12. This follows along the same lines as Age of Empires (Age of Kings) Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings

This review is from: Rise of Nation, including Thrones & Patriots Expansion Pack (DVD-ROM)
At times there are very negative reviews on this game because the graphics don't meet the expectations of certain individuals. I would strongly disagree with those views. While there aren't top-notch graphics in this game, they are still very nice. The user interface is excellent. Very easy to learn, and VERY addicting. It is already a classic RTS game, and for very good reason. The included expansion pack does a nice job of improving the experience without taking anything away from the original appeal of the game.
