    But if you can see past the façade and look directly into what really makes this game tick, you'll soon discover that there's a scant few with this much depth and functionality.

    I was pleased with this Romance, but less than fulfilled.

    You'll need the patience and interest to pour hours upon hours into the game, tirelessly tracking all your statistics as you slowly progress through the military and political ranks.

    It gets very, very dry. An acquired taste to say the least. [August 2002, p.78]

    Excellent! This is definitely an acquired taste, but for those who have this 'acquired' taste, they're in for an amazingly fun and addicting treat. For those who don't have this 'acquired' taste, they'll experience a serious disappointement. I, on the other hand, AM the acquired taste!… Expand

    This is one of those special types of games out there. Chances are, you'll either love it, or seriously dislike it. If you're the kind of person who enjoys stress and other long-running strategy based games, you'll love this game. It will challenge you like few you've ever played. If you want hack and slash action, this game will bore you quickly. The thing is, though, if this game is one you enjoy, you'll enjoy it forever. I don't know of any game I've ever played that has as much replay value as this one. There are just so many different things that can happen and that you can do in this game, that it's impossible to grow tired of it. Give it a chance, and find out what it's like to have a game you can play for the next 6 months.… Expand
