    The different playable nations and the vagaries of diplomacy ensure that there's plenty enough reason for fans to come back again and again.

    Crown of Glory is a gem in the modern landscape of first-person shooters and 3D normal-mapped, vertex-shaded graphics. It may not be the prettiest of titles, but it is certainly a deep strategy game that combines both the empire building and turn-based combat styles into a brilliant title based in the era of Napoleon.

    The game tries to cover every aspect of the campaigns - economic development, technological research, diplomatic overtures, military operations, even technical battles - but none of it is particularly gripping. [Oct 2005, p.80]

Crown of glory is one of the few, it really is fantastic value. Matrix games have a number of patches available to improve stability but still havn't solved all issues, particularly multiplayer ones. It has a steep learning curve but like many matrix titles once you get the hang of it you will get many hours of enjoyment from playing the game.… Expand
