Cossacks
Tom's Review: Although it visits the familiar historical
terrain of Ensemble's Age of Empires, Cossacks plays on a whole
different scale. Unfortunately, it's a scale less suited to real
time strategy. It's the epic sweep of Creative Assembly's Shogun
with just enough resource management to ruin it. Cossacks sprawls
with so much detail and so many nuances that sooner or later it
will run away without you (the ability to pause and give orders
would have worked wonders here). But in those frantic scrambling
moments before you're left behind in the dust and rubble, Cossacks
has the all the sweet intensity of some of the best real time strategy
games.
