Audio levels are off. The sound effects (record sketch, gunshot, etc.) are extremely loud, and you're really quiet. Also you might want to use background music that's fitting to the game, and doesn't have lyrics (Meaning not MC Hammer). And you might want to start doing regular reviews before getting into the crazier stuff, like clipping in random stuff. Also 9 minutes a little long for a review. Sorry for over-criticism, everyone's gotta start somewhere.

That mic is pretty cool though :/

Decent review. You were a little quite and you forced the humor too much. But either way, it seemed very in depth on the whole game.

lol, thanks Artie and Tru3. Honestly, bring on the criticism. I need to know what to do to make my reviews better.

It was good, but a little misguided. The opinions were all there, it'd just work better if you chose your audience better. Is it for the hardcore Empire players? Or the new players? Trying to cater to both in one review can work, but if your going to spend as long as you did discussing tactics, you may as well go whole hog and just get it out the way that this is a review intended to inform the Empire players.

Secondly, the humour. Some of it was good, but it felt out of place. Either make the gags even sparser, like just having one or two and preferably intergrate them into speech rather than cutting to black, or go on for a funny review.

Overall though, nice review. The technical levelling was a bit off, and a little more focus choices would make it better, but its not bad at all.

My personal nitpicks :

Don't like big CG intro sequences in reviews.  No point in it.  Youtube is very slow, so it's hard to just skip past those parts.
Don't use music you like that's unrelated to the game.  Some sites have their own themes, but it's better to stick with music from the game itself.  Music is one of those highly taste-dependent things, best not to turn off listeners before they even hear you say anything.
Sound levels are pretty far off, your voice is too quiet and then suddenly it gets really loud with some sound byte.  If you have an X-Fi or any other hardware that balances your audio levels, turn it off when doing something like this (it'll sound balanced to you, but everyone else gets their ears blown off).

Your review and voice seem good.  Don't rely on gimmicks like sound bytes.

I didn't watch much of it to be honest, because I'm not interested in the game at all, but I was impressed with your rate of delivery of the review contents without stuttering or going um or anything. Sounded very professional. Yeah, the audio levels were a bit off, but I'm sure you realize that by now. Keep it up.

Thanks Mike.

I hope Mike realizes they made editing software so people don't say um or stuttering.

"Wow man, I can't believe you figured out a way to go from the main menu, to the middle of a battle. That's truly amazing. You also alt-tabbed from Empire to Rome so quickly, you're pretty good at this stuff man"
