For those of you who never played the original Caesar, or the even better Caesar II, you should know that this is a game of construction. If you need a comparison, it most closely resembles SimCity--some fans even call it SimRome. In Caesar III, you take on the job of a provincial governor in the Roman Empire, trying to extend the borders of Roman civilization and raising a great city out of the pagan dust. You build roads, clear forests, and plunk down virtually every kind of building and structure that was common in cities 2,000 years ago, all while fighting off the occasional barbarian horde and trying to make a profit on the venture.

Cons

Yes
With the frenzy, justifiably, building over the release of Pharaoh, leave us not forget the zenith (to date) of the City Building Series sequence that fathered the genre, Caesar III.
C3 is to C2 what the Concorde is to a Wright-Curtiss biplane; and C2 was itself very good indeed.

Pros
Good graphics, Straight to the action.
Cons
This game requires an intensive computer to run, even on minimum.
Recommended it?
Yes
Company of Heroes is one of those games that can alter a genre, like what Half-Life did to FPS games. The game throws in many aspects from the nomenclature RTS by having capture points (to gain resources), reinforcing units when they are depleted, giving you general powers to use, etc.

Recommended it?

Obviously you are reading this review because you MUST like RTS games and therefore are wondering if this RTS with only 2 sides is worth buying.
In one word, yes.
Mainly because it has elements that no other RTS has ever had. What it lacks in other areas it makes up for in...
