This game is recommended only for those who have strong composure for emotions

Hi there!

Empire Total War is a good game with things to be fixed which can make the game the greatest among the Total War series

This game haves huge problems with the performance no matter on what resolution or setting I set it, the game still has huge fps drops especially when I am going on a siege, it is very hard not to forget the fact that when you destroy a wall or a fort it suddenly starts lagging when you kill the entire unit which was there or the fire stops from the wall then the game is going a little bit normal.

This game will be great if it can be updated and the performance issues fixed.

This game has it all, from diplomacy to the total warfare the gameplay is decent for it's time graphics are normal there are many historical facts for every unit which existed from the time when the Samurais haven't been know that much till their fall with the modernisation of the military & weaponry.

Whoever likes the game, it's way of handling state affairs and way of military warfare, this is for you.

I will give my honest opinion about this game:
My father was a trucker and he passed away almost a year ago and this game is meaning to me, this game still haves the decent gameplay like it had before and the graphics are awesome
Even with a low end pc it can still pull at decent fps while playing.
This game haves everything what you need for a funny gameplay and the AI is crazy sometimes.

So who wants to get a truck and go to wilderness he should get this piece :)

This game is very emotional in some moments the gameplay is excellent this game brought anything to the best the whole story was some kind of a beautiful tale like good vs evil and I am happy that in this game the good wins.

Who wants to buy a game which is full with emotions and best satisfaction this game is for you

This game is a pure masterpiece the gameplay is very good graphics adorable whoever wants to play a type of FPS where everything goes upside down this game is the right game for him.

I will give my honest opinion about this game:
-The graphics are reminding me of Battlefield Bad Company 2 but improved variant
-The sound is cool and realistic like it takes you into the battle
-The story is almost real because at some point it takes you into a life of a US Soldier,USAF Pilot etc.
-There was problem with the multiplayer when I started a game on server it would play 30 seconds and then closes without any message.
I tried my best to find a solution about this and I finally have been found it and made it better,so here is how the things are going:
-You should install the latest PunkBuster update from their site and go in the location where the game is, find the application left click on it then go on the Properties and you will find a category named Compatibility, you will go there and set the compatibility to Windows 8 and check the options Run as a Administrator,Turn off the full screen optimizations and apply and then the game will work it it does.
T H A T W A S T H E S O L U T I O N F O R M E !

I played this game for couple of hours and in that time I saw some things which quite surprised me and shocked me at the same time:
-The game is realistic it haves some realistic situations from which are hard to escape and if you do the AI will win anyway because the AI is always making a 90% pot score most at the time
-This game is NOT beginner friendly,you must take it on the highest level don't try to miss any chance because if you do the game is over.
-The gameplay sucks the graphics cannot be changed otherwise the resolution cannot be changed otherwise you have only 2 resolutions and the FPS is not as good as it should be for a modern game.
-Like I said the game is NOT beginner friendly that is how you should not expect the players to play it,the snooker is hard in life yes, but you should give an opportunity to the fans to learn it in a simple manner.
-The commentary is boring they only say a few sentences per match and that's it everything is all around same.
THIS PRICE IS NOT GOOD FOR A GAME WHICH IS ALMOST NOT FINISHED!
If you want to milk the players out of their pockets, at the end of the day the players decide is it the product decent and good for that price or NOT!
-The most important community is the Low End or Mid End PC community because they are among the largest group of games to ever exist,and you should make the game to be played accordingly by EVERYONE

Those are some of the reasons why I don't recommend this game.

I will give my opinion about this game:
-The Graphics are decent for 2004 game it is almost the same in comparing to the Garry's Mod which used the Valve Engine at the time and it came decent.
-The Gameplay is good and enjoying it is hard to be good but you need to keep trying
-The Player Community in this game is astonishing good,lovely folks.
This game was part of my childhood and the memories from this game are pure beauty.
So,if everyone wants to take a look into old FPS with a decent number of players and funny moments this is the right game for you.
