Several times, I got an "error" message that the game was unavailable and that I would have to try again later. In order to play the game that you bought, you have to register and play through your new Steam account! Apparently, to cut down on piracy or to collect customer information or just to torture their customers, Creative Assembly and SEGA make you register with Steam (which is some kind of online game hosting company).
You're only getting Volume I, which has the first four episodes). So, buyer beware, the box cover makes it sound like you're getting the whole series of The Revolution. (Turns out that all the "Special Forces" editions only ship with Volume I. That's right, the box only has Volume I of The History Channel series on the American Revolution! That program is the main reason I paid for the premium edition. I get back home, and lo and behold, Volume II of The Revolution is missing. I went to Gamestop in Wilmington, Ohio, slapped down my card from Uncle Visa and paid $74 and some change for the "Special Forces" edition.
To say that I've been excited about this game would be a colossal understatement.īut, alas.my troubles began as soon as I opened the case. I mean, here at last, was a game dedicated to the era of the American Revolution! Not only does Empire: Total War come with a Revolutionary War campaign, but the "Special Forces" edition of Empire: Total War comes with The History Channel Revolution on DVD.
Great games - all of them!Īnd I have been salivating at the possibility of getting my hands on Empire: Total War.
I've invested numerous hours of my life playing Medieval: Total War, Rome: Total War, and Medieval II: Total War. Playing Empire: Total War may be one of the most frustrating and maddening experiences you will ever have. Saying Empire: Total War falls short in the area of "fun" is actually an understatement. Empire: Total War, the newly-released real-time strategy (RTS) epic game from SEGA and Creative Assembly, shows great promise and boasts great potential, but falls short in the most important facet of gaming - the "Fun Factor."
