Empire Total War
Posted: Sun Feb 22, 2009 4:49 am
the game is coming out in early march (Mar. 3rd according to our best buddy wikipedia), its demo is already on steam for download. Anyone tried it out yet? Here are my opinions for the demo:
pros:
- large scale battle, as always
- cannons!
- naval battle
- very good graphics
- more cannons and muskets!
cons:
- naval battle seems a bit tedious if u try to control every ship
- individual soldier movement/combat still seems a bit sluggish (a lot better compared to previous ones tho)
- a bit demanding on the hardware (my rig could run crysis on pretty much max except for AA, but i cant run high graphics on this game without getting lags)
- the whole "integrating music into battle" part is not that apparent, at least to me
other than that, the demo doesn't have the campaign mode, so i can't comment on the turn-based part of the game, but i'd assume it would be very similar to previous ones.
any thoughts?
