In Rise & Fall, players assume the role of one of history’s greatest heroes and build a civilization from the ground up. Amass enough glory, and Rise & Fall lets the player fight alongside his troops in Hero Command Mode, laying waste to carefully prepared enemy plans, formations and fortifications with an almost supernatural combination of leadership and martial skill.
POWERFUL CIVILIZATIONS. Choose from four of the ancient world's mightiest empires: Persia, Greece, Egypt or Rome.
REALISTIC UNITS AND WEAPONS. Enlist more than 80 unique units, including footmen, archers, cavalry, siege and massive triremes. Use realistically-scaled siege towers, ladders, and battering rams to annihilate city defenses and clear the way for ground forces.
NAVAL COMBAT. For the first time ever in an RTS game, naval combat will play a large and vital role. Fight for control of the seas by boarding and ramming enemy naval vessels using massive, accurately-scaled warships. Outfit warships with infantry, archers, ballistae, or catapults, depending on the player's strategic objectives.
HERO MODE. Engage in awe-inspiring feats of heroism by joining troops during climactic battles (from a third-person perspective) and personally impact the outcome. Control one of eight unique Heroes including Julius Caesar, Germanicus Caesar, Cleopatra, Ramses the Great, Achilles and Alexander the Great, each with special abilities and weapons.
IMPROVE CIVILIZATIONS. Recruit craftsman, scientists, artisans, and advisors who will help enhance civilizations both militarily and economically. Capture new territories and establish outposts to increase your recruiting ability and train new formations of soldiers rapidly.
3D RTS ENGINE. Our Multi-Threaded 3D Engine is the industry's leading next- generation 3D engine designed specifically for RTS games. We feature dynamic lights and selfshadowing, a powerful particle engine, realistic terrain and water, and the ability to render thousands of units at once.
MULTIPLAYER. Up to 8 players will battle it out across numerous multiplayer game types, including a team-based mode where one player manages resources while the other unleashes the full power of Hero mode against the enemy team.
AAAAYESI usually download a demo, give it a try and 5 mins. later delete em'. This demo reminded me of Empire Earth/AOE etc. and found myself playing beyond the 5 mins. The graphics is good, the water graphics is outstanding...(GeForce 7800). The gameplay is typical of grab a group of soldiers and point & attack for all intented purposes. Its nice that theres someone out there that can create good music with this game. However, its this game ability for you to "fight on the battlefield yourself" as you take on the main character, going on a one person rampage slicing up all that stands against you.
During this mode, it would of been nice to had more realistic combat in the hand to hand, rather than slice twice & die. This game gave a good effort in the blood & dying sequence, eh...I hope these type of games get more detailed as game progress. When they do, then I would be looking forward to a good Samurai gameplay. Until then, this isnt all bad, not bad at all for those who seeks this type of game. For the 1 to 5 star rating...I will like to offer a 3.75 to 4.25.[reply|quote]Thursday, April 20, 2006 09:58 PM

by: XShadow654 (Visitor)Are you kidding? This is the best RTS I've played, next to Rome : Total War. The hero command mode is actually what I've been looking for in an RTS for years to come. The sieges, naval, wall, EVERYTHING in this game while in hero command mode is simply put, beautiful. It's very cinematic the entire game, and the music is very atmospheric. I love this game way too much to delete the demo 'till I get the game. Can't wait for online play, if there is any. Go download it. Now. Seriously. Do it.[reply|quote]Saturday, April 22, 2006 10:15 PM
