Rise of Nations Marches Onto Store Shelves
Gamers can emerge from their trenches and prepare for battle, as Microsoft Game Studios today announced that Rise of Nations is appearing on store shelves throughout North America.
Description
From acclaimed game maker Brian Reynolds, designer of PC game classic “Civilization II,” comes “Rise of Nations,” a new historical, real-time strategy game. For the first time, gamers will experience the pulse-pounding thrill and speed of real-time gaming combined with the epic scope and depth of turn-based strategy games. The game brings to life 6,000 years of history from the ancient age to the information age — not just in warfare but in city building, trade and diplomacy. Despite the long timeline in the game, “Rise of Nations” is designed with the casual audience in mind, meaning gamers will be able to move through the game quickly.
