Ambitious Failure Empire: Total War is pretty when you zoom in close, but nice visuals do not cover the fact that it was released unfinished. Creative Assembly has definitely filled their plate by expanding the scope of the game to cover all the major aspects of 18th century warfare. On the other hand, some features of Medieval 2: Total War were lost in the process and while the introduction of proper naval battles is a long-awaited addition to the series, it seems to have happened partially at the expense of land warfare. Now don't get me wrong, both types of battles are pretty and entertaining but the AI desperately needs a brain transplant and in the long run the battles tend to get repetitive as the armies of different nations lack individuality that mixed things up so much in Medieval 2: Total War. Empire: Total War may be fixable, but as it stands today, it's one of those exploitable and buggy messes released far too early. Sure, the visuals look good and the underlying game concept is still solid but no matter how you put it, it's a game that ended up on the market in an unfinished state. While Empire: Total War might become a great game after a few additional patches and Creative Assembly has so far committed to fixing things, it's not there yet - not by a longshot. Sure, it's not a total loss even today, but unless you posses a near-infinite patience towards buggy code and poor AI, it may be worth waiting a bit and taking a look again in a few months.
