    The single best strategy game released since "Civilization II" (and perhaps even the original "Civilization.")

    This is a huge game. I've been playing it for weeks now and am only now just getting an idea of what's possible.

    Once you get past the initial shock of how big and occasionally unwieldy the game is, you'll find that the detailed mechanics work to produce an unparalleled level of depth.

    The game is complicated, and the combat is uninspired, but overall the experience is a positive one. Plus, it makes a great way to study for a history test.
