| Great War Nations: The Spartans |
 |
Combine economic development with tactical real time battles, all fully rendered in glorious 3D in Great War Nations: The Spartans. Spanning two campaigns each with seven missions, take over control of the legendary people of Macedonia and Sparta. You will fight alongside great heroes and bring peace to the city states of ancient Greece. Assemble your army and fight with your soldiers for wealth and peace, becoming more successful than even Alexander The Great. But beware: It will not be just your enemies who will envy you.

It was a fairly fun game for about the first three to four missions.

61
GameZone
An average RTS game that had the potential to be more. Only get this game if you were fans of the previous game then you might enjoy this; otherwise it would be best to wait until some of the more promising RTS games come out later this year.

60
IGN
It has a unique troop creation system that lets players build exactly the types of armies they want and it doesn't look that bad either. But the pathing problems and the lack of excitement at the tactical level don't provide a strong enough framework for the good parts of the game to really shine through.

58
Cheat Code Central
If the same level of polish afforded to the visual areas of the game was put into the play mechanics, World Forge could have had a strong RTS game on their hands. Instead they delivered a mediocre experience with a few good ideas that's ultimately bogged down by a mess of technical issues.

55
GameSpot
Unless you're interested in overly fussy, old-fashioned RTS gaming, give Great War Nations: The Spartans a pass.

PC Gamer
GWN: Sparta offers little desides gameplay as ancient as the Spartans themselves, and should probably fall on its sword. [Aug 2008, p.72]

Been there, done that, and it's been done a lot better.

G4 TV
Great War Nations might appeal to those new to the genre, but strategy vets will want to "erase this memory of Sparta from the histories."

25
GameShark
This is a bad RTS and a bad bargain. Not only have things not improved from Ancient Wars: Sparta, things have barely changed at all. There are a few neat ideas in this template, but none are carried far enough to count as truly interesting and all are saddled by poor technique.
