Strategy gaming has never been so complex or so addictive. Work at the Review Zone offices ground to a halt the day this game arrived, and it was only with a supreme effort of will that we tore ourselves away from the complexities of ruling a Roman city. We could go on for hours about this game, but suffice to say, you’ll never forgive yourself if you pass this by. Games like this are what justify the gamers continued existence.

As far as strategy gaming goes, StarCraft is still the yardstick by which the entire genre is judged. Undoubtedly a landmark and a must for anyone with even a faint interest in strategy gaming. 

This game builds upon the success of its predecessor, one of the classics of strategy gaming. There is no shortage of good strategy games around, but few of them are so fascinating in every aspect. Highly addictive and engrossing, with a gorgeous interface and great Internet play, this game is highly recommended.
