Topic Subject: The Grand Reviews Thread
posted 03-02-09 08:03 AM EDT (US)   
Kor suggested this thread and frankly it was a good idea so here it is. This 'Grand Reviews Thread' is for you all to post up whatever reviews you have found, to save a new thread for each one and forum clutter over the course of the inevitable review blitz over the next few days.

When you find a review, post it in this thread. In good time it'll be added to the main post and at the end of each day a reviews summary will be posted on the site news, once again to avoid cluttering up the main page and a reviews burnout.

    If you look on the box covers on Amazon it says that PCGamer gives it 94 percent.

    This is not a signature.

    What's wrong with Belgium, Spartan?

    It is a very respected magazine by the way.
    Anyways: here is what they put at positives and negatives:

    Positive:
    -Beautiful landscapes and units
    -Deep Grand Campaign,the fact that you van replay forever

    Negative:
    -Pretty long loading times.

    Oh my, 10/10 from Gamespy and Nowgamer. A very nice feeling for the makers, I am sure.

    Do we have a PC Gamer review yet?

    Well PC Gamer is basically CVG, so follow that link because it's the same review my friend.

    Ah yes indeed. I was looking for the wrong name, that is all; it is too easy to forget these things.

    Its good to see ETW is keeping up the TW record of never below 90%.
