Da GameboyzThe battles themselves are almost always immense, with more than 30,000 troops a side (that's the smallest battle I can remember in the experience) but you don't get that feeling of enormity.
-
Daily RadarDespite a multitude of polygonal eye-candy and the largest amount of high-quality FMV ever seen in a game, its otherwise spare graphics and lazy AI won't appeal to everyone.
-
Encompasses fantastic graphical prowess with equally fantastic gameplay and depth.
-
A brilliant lesson in game making as well as in history--and like history, it repeats itself again and again and again.
-
The game's biggest downfall is that it isn't particularly difficult.
-
Stunning visuals and sounds. The only question is whether you are willing to sit down and play the game, with its continuously redundant nature.
-
Sadly, the controls in the Battle screen are totally counterintuitive, making it a slow, tedious chore to command your units.
