Pros:   When I think Real Time Strategy, I think Total War.  The makers of the the Total War series (SEGA) have been lugging a briny pot of brew to the gamers table every year it seems (yum salty brew!).  That's what I'm talking about people.  This game makes chess look like a baby toy.  You can't get more military strategy in you diet than you can with the Empire Total War.
            The naval battles keep me up late at night.  I love playing games with an original twist and Empire has definitely achieved that.  The attention to detail is amazing.  We need more games like this out there.  The Total War series brings a level of history and education to the table that the gaming generation really needs to see, and embedding it into a game like this is the prospect for retention in my opinion.  Thanks SEGA keep it coming please!

Cons:  Campaign mode is SOOOooooo hard!  I'm no genius, but damn!  Couldn't you make a supper easy mode?
            The online multiplayer mode is difficult at best to get a full game started.  Then once you do get a 4v4 game going then you have to wait for all of the slow computers to catch up.  The lag and syncing are too slow for a quick game, so if you want to play at least one good PvP game put it into your schedule.  It may take a while.


Final Word:
This game could have the worst graphics out there and I would still love it for the content it provides.  If you notice this game is in my hit list, and I would venture to say it will be there for a long, long time...
