"Rise of Legends is a bit flat in comparison to Rise of Nations, but quirky races and units provide a lot of off-the-wall appeal.
The Good: Very similar to Rise of Nations; interesting, offbeat races and units; great art design.
The Bad: Maybe too similar to Rise of Nations; campaign storyline isn't well presented and is hard to get into; seems to be missing some battle sound effects; a few predictable artificial intelligence issues with skirmish play."

I never played the original but I quickly got into this game. Its an rts Good battle scenes, I dont think the graphics are up to par, but there is good building effects and when damage is done to them. You do your battles then return to a map that kinda has a risk game feel, after every battle you gain points to upgrade your previous conquered cities, upgrade your army & building aswell as your hero's that fight with you. From other reviews it seems very close to the original so if you liked the original Im sure ull really enjoy the 2nd.

Gameplay: 8
Graphics: 7
Sound: 6
Fun Factor: 8
Overall: 7.5 Worth Buying

Seen an add for this in electronic gaming monthly magazine and even though I'm not into this type of game, it looked pretty cool compared to most. I think I'm definately going to pick it up sometime in the future...but for now I'm still trying to pick up F.E.A.R. and beat it before the expansion comes out.

F.E.A.R.'s ending will dissapoint you, but you'll probably shit yourself a few times playing it.
