    Empires provides equal portions of action and strategy, and dishes out an adventure that will gleefully eat up huge chunks of players' time.
  2. 70
    While a fairly competent game, it just doesn't manage to add enough new content to make it worth a serious look.
  3. Once again, the Empires expansion of Koei's long-running hack-and-slash action series turns out to be the bright spot amid the doldrums of endless button-mashing, thanks to some legitimately interesting strategy.
