    The different playable nations and the vagaries of diplomacy ensure that there's plenty enough reason for fans to come back again and again.

    Crown of Glory is a gem in the modern landscape of first-person shooters and 3D normal-mapped, vertex-shaded graphics. It may not be the prettiest of titles, but it is certainly a deep strategy game that combines both the empire building and turn-based combat styles into a brilliant title based in the era of Napoleon.

    If directing your armies around Napoleonic Europe with somewhat abstract Quick Combat resolution gets you excited, you can pretty much overlook all the other problems. [Oct 2005, p.70]

    The game tries to cover every aspect of the campaigns - economic development, technological research, diplomatic overtures, military operations, even technical battles - but none of it is particularly gripping. [Oct 2005, p.80]

    There are very few games that in truth i really go back to playing after long breaks playing more recent titles. Crown of glory is one of the few, it really is fantastic value. Matrix games have a number of patches available to improve stability but still havn't solved all issues, particularly multiplayer ones. It has a steep learning curve but like many matrix titles once you get the hang of it you will get many hours of enjoyment from playing the game.… Full Review »

    Highly detailed Napoleonic game with a high learning curve. Immerses gamer in virtually every aspect of Napoleonic warfare and is a must for the serious strategy gamer. Arcade gamers looking for pretty graphics and sound should look elsewhere.… Full Review »
