Summary: Long Live the Emperor...
Review: My first game of this series was Zeus, then I got Pharaoh and Cleopatra and then it came Poseidon for Zeus. If you liked them, you will enjoy this version set in ancient China. Graphics are better than Zeus and it comes with a mission editor. It's very addictive, can't wait for the expansion.

Summary: "Emperor RotMK" is one of the best games I have ever played.
Review: One day in Wal-Mart I noticed a bin of old computer games for $4.88 each. Looking through it, I saw this game. Having already been familiar with "Zeus: Master of Olympus", one of the game's forbearers, and a fan of this game, I decided to buy it. After all, what did I risk?I'm here to tell you that I still, months after purchasing it, get great enjoyment out of this game. Whether you want to complete the requirements for a scenario or plow your own course; conquer every city in the Middle Kingdom or set up a trading empire second to none; this is the game for you. It helps if you also like Chinese culture, because you're about to be emersed in it. From Nu Wa being the creator goddess to Xia being the name of first dynasty, you'll learn quite a lot. In short, this game is worth $4.88. It's worth its original $19.99. In fact, it's worth much more. At $17.88, it's a steal.

Summary: I should qualify the 1-star
Review: The demo version of the game is very good but be forewarned when buying the retail version: I and many other customers have had problems installing and/or playing this game! The Emperor website has a forum where users can share their experiences and many, including myself, have vented about our inability to run the game based on the minimum system requirements. Be warned: if you have the minimum system requirements for Emperor, that may still not be enough. I have more than adequate resources to run the game, but the intro movie is the only thing that will play, then my monitor goes blank and its lights all begin blinking. There do not appear to be any patches in development to address user concerns at this time. I am not the only user who has experienced this frustrating problem. I'm returning my copy of the game and will try something else.

Summary: Good, fun game
Review: This game is pretty fun. I've only played Pharaoh and Emperor in the City-building series, so I may not know much, but I can give a halfway decent review. I like how the jobs automatically get people, unlike in Pharaoh, where you have annoying people dressed in white come out from the work area and look for people. That is a nice change. I like the residential walls. Not only do they, if placed properly, block out buildings that decrease desirability, they can be built over roads and turned into gates that can be altered on who to let in or out. Well, to a point, that is; you can only control about three groups of people, which is kind of disappointing. You can place two different crops at one farm (like grain and rice, or millet and soybeans) One thing I found annoying is the Feng Shui, You get green, yellow, and red colors for the buildings. Red means it can't be placed, green means it can be placed with no problems, and yellow means it can be placed but people will be less happy. This gets very annoying. You sometimes have to place the buildings far away from the road to get green! It gets so annoying, I ignore it. The main reason I didn't give this game five stars is the fact that it gets boring after a while.

Summary: Love that Feng Shui
Review: This game plays almost exactly like Zeus and Ceasar, which is fine by me. I love the city managaing type of Sim game. The Gods are fun, if you don't anger them. The graphics are good. The soundtrack is good enough to be a CD. I've had hours of fun with this game. In addition to trade, crops and appeasing the Gods, the added challenge of making sure your city follows the principals of Feng Shui was a nice twist. It added a bit of extra need for planning. The only thing I ask, (as I do with Zeus and Ceasar as well) is that there be more types of crops, and more types available in each city at a time.

Summary: Emperor rise of the middle kingdom
Review: This is a terrific game though very hard. I personally have just beaten it and it took me nearly a year. It is a great game for kids who liked the games Sim city. the main difference from it is that it is in china.... in B.C..... and you can create armies but the basic idea is the same. The game is full of challenges and it never really gets boring. The graphics are great. It is challenging because you only have so much money and you have to do so much with it. The only way to win that game is to heavily leavy taxes and keep your unemployment down. Well to sum it up this is a terrifc game

Summary: Good game once you get it started
Review: This is a very good game. The graphics are suburb! This is one of the better simulation games that I have used. I really enjoyed the "Chinese" music and the paintings during the loading of the game. There is one minor problem with this software. After you have loaded the software and you try to play it, sometimes the "Autorun" or the "Emperor.exe" does not start running. It is really hit or miss trying to get this game to start running. Sometimes it starts whenever you click the icon or the start menu on the first try. Other times it acts like it starts but then shuts down. Once the game starts, it is excellent. I highly recommend this game. I am sure that Sierra is working on this problem. They have given us great customer support in the past.

Summary: Great Game
Review: Though the intro takes a while to load thats probably the worst part. After all it could be worse. The graphics are ok but somtimes the music can get on your nerves after a while. The online play addition from the other City Builder Titles is a bonus too.
