Rise of Legends Trial Version
Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends is a Big Huge Games release from 2006 and has been described as a "complete departure from the other platforms", and whether that is good or bad will depend on you and how much you like your real time PC strategy games. While other Rise of Nation games have been described as similar to Age of Empires and Warcraft, both visually and in gameplay, this one hasn't been spoken of in such glowing terms. While still a beautiful backdrop, the game is
not Big Huge Games status quo for the Rise of Nations series.
The game download itself is at least a small trial size (only 742 MB) and gives you a single player campaign to go through, which will give you a good feel for the game and how it will play. Remember to test it before you buy it and see if Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends is the right real time strategy game for you. If you have played other Rise of Nations games in the past, don't go into this one expecting an "expansion" to the original series, it's been considered more of a stand alone like the Guild War series.
