Rise of Nations?

Anyone got this? Is it any good?

I got paid today and might splash out, just so I have yet another thing to do instead of revise.

I was going to get it then realised I have loads of games and very little time

Multiplayer is bugged to fuck and is completely unplayable, as the host machine cant handle just 2 clients and grinds to a halt. Both machines I tried it on were P4 2.53's which can handle every other bloody game.
Theres numerous bugs to be honest, and it's probably worth waiting for a few patches to emerge to make it playable in MP.

That said, Single Player is good fun, and its an involving and intelligent RTS that actually manages to be different and I'm really looking forward to MP being fixed.

I've got it but not really played it yet... :/

Ted does it crash a lot in SP for you? I took the plunge figuring I could live without multiplayer for a while, but it crashes so often for me its unplayable. Even the patch they released today dpesn't help

Played the demo,

Lots of fun, and lots of ages, my advice, try download the demo if you can get hold of it, if you want to try it.
