Game introduction
Control the sea, command great armies, forge a new nation and conquer the globe. Empire: Total War takes the Total War franchise to the 18th Century and the Age of Imperialism - a time of near perpetual war. This latest installation in the award-winning, multi-million unit selling Total War franchise introduces a host of revolutionary new features, including true 3D naval combat. Players will be able to command single ships or vast fleets upon seascapes rich with extraordinary effects. After pummeling enemies with cannon fire, players will close in to grapple enemy ships and prepare to board, taking control of men as they fight hand-to-hand. With an entirely new game engine, Empire will see further enhancements to the 3D battles and turn-based campaign maps. Empire lets players experience combat on the high seas, India, Europe, and, for the first time, the United States of America.

Review
Total War series moves to the 18th century, the age of sail and musket. Improved visuals and proper real time sea battles are the main selling points, but... whatever happened to the quality assurance? Empire: Total War offers an ambitious look at warfare on a global scale in the colonial era, but you'll end up fighting with some bugs as well.
