Video Game Reviews of Europa Universalis: Rome
Customer Review: GOOD NEWS!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
The good news is that this turkey is not the worst PC game I've ever played. The bad news is that it's probably in the top five worst games I've tried. Honestly, I don't even know where to begin.
The first warning was the single disc. How many titles out there are single disc installs? The manual was in micro-type and poorly printed (it's also a LONG booklet). Even the all too numerous dialogue boxes that pop up during "game" play have numerous typos ("all your base are belong to us"). The graphics would have been primitive even five years ago. The game play is slow, tedious, and ultimately pointless. I'm not familiar with the Europa Universalis titles so I can't comment on the series; but compared with Rome Total War this is absolutely an inferior product.
My strong advice to any one considering purchasing this turkey is to wait till it hits the $9.99 discount rack at Best Buy. However, even at that price I guaranty you'll be disappointed.

Enjoy plenty of empire building, conquest and warfare in Europa Universalis: Rome. Nearly infinite customization and thousands of player options let you control countries, characters, cultures and provinces. Only the wisest rulers will excel in this setting. Know when to team up with your neighbors and when to overtake them. Sometimes it's better to focus on technology and trade than to expend your efforts on expansion. Political intrigue and tactical strategy play a large part in this chapter of the series. Decide which situations require diplomacy and when military might is in order. Let the saga begin at any date between 280 and 27 B.C. in the ancient past. From there, choose from 10 different cultures with more than 53 playable factions. The incredibly detailed 3D map spans hundreds of provinces. Greece, Carthage, Egypt, Germany, Rome and other domains are all up for grabs. See if you can unite them all in the name of the Roman Empire. You'll also see your characters develop new traits as they interact with others. Up to 32 players can compete against each other or team up in Co-op mode. However you choose to play, Europa Universalis: Rome provides a unique experience every time.Watch characters develop new traits as political intrigue unfolds Battle with or against up to 32 players at a time Windows Vista / XP
