Rise of Nations was a great game, but if you were flipping through screenshots seeking out some new addiction it wouldn't have stood out - you'd get the impression that you had played "that game" before.
It's hard to dismiss Rise of Legends in the same way. Big Huge Games could probably have put out another Rise of Nations in the same vein and done alright, but instead they chose to go completely batshit insane and I think we're all the better for it.
