I bought this game out of pure nostalgia and the fact that I haven't been able to find a digital copy of this game anywhere since I started looking about five years ago. Retail discs of this game are incredibly expensive on Amazon and eBay, so I literally saw the name and hit the buy button. I don't think I've purchased another game quicker. Empires is my all time favorite RTS game, and probably my favorite strategy game period. It beats out Age of Empires, Star Craft, Company of Heroes, Civizilation, etc. The fact that you can start your civilization so early and advance through WW2 makes this game pretty unique, and the units that are available during each time period are well thought out and balanced. Each era has a unique campaign that is decently long and includes fun, strategic gameplay. At $10, you would be hard pressed to find another game as fun as this one. I'd highly recommend it to any RTS fan. PICK IT UP!
