Rise of Nations or Eve Online? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I thinking of getting either Rise of Nations or Eve Online. Money isn't a factor, so I could always get both, but I'm tired of being disapointed with game purchases. Any players care to help me decide?

Eve sucked, we played it for about 6 weeks and decided it was a waste. The game seemed really in depth to begin with, but after a week or two, it's the same thing over and over. I've never had any exprience in the other game mentioned, sorry!

I thought Rise of Nations was a cool game.

Check out the Trial version: http://www.microsoft.com/games/riseo.../downloads.asp

Eve is horribly dull. Very nice eye candy and ecomomy system, but horrible boring.

Rise of Nations is pretty darn cool. If you're into RTS, it's hard to imagine that you'd be less than thrilled with RoN.

I'm really NOT that into RTS, and I thought Nations was a rockin good time.

Rise of Nations is one of the best RTS's I've played in a long while. I really love the depth of the game and the Risk-esque gameboard. I don't know anything about Eve Online but if you like RTS's at all, get RoN.

mbchills · 02-04-2004, 12:01 PM
