 Less than Fantastic March 13, 2008
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
I felt the game was very misconceived in its description. I was expecting more of a Civilization type interface to it, especially in game play, i.e. turns. Overall gameplay is confusing and the manual was unhelpful. It took me forever to figure out how to expand my colony. Over the hours of game play while hoping for it to become fun, I found it instead slow and boring. But this is just my opinion. I also bought Europa Universalis with this game, and I found it much more enjoyable but perhaps that is just more my taste. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS GAME BUT THAT'S ME.
not fun for me February 8, 2008

I didn't enjoy this. There is little instruction included, and I could never really figure out how to get past the beginning stages. It was not interesting enough to put the effort into really learning how to play.
Blechhh!
 Needlessly complex January 23, 2008

My favorite games are empire building... This games had and may still have promise if the company entirely reworks it. There is a good premise behind it but the interface is overly complex and the game world is too small. The game seems to be a poor combination of Caesar 3 and Age of empires. I've enjoyed this type of game for more than ten years and haven't found a game I couldn't find an aspect that I might enjoy. This game finally hit that mark. Save your money and get Age of Empires 3.
Great Sequel December 13, 2007

This is the third in the series and each is an improvement over the previous version. I have played all three. I enjoy the scenerios the best and wish more than ten were available. This incarnation has great graphics and the process to grow a city are reasonable and intuitive. If non-battle (though battles can be part of the play) are your thing, this is a great game.
 Absolutely Fantastic Game!! December 1, 2007

This is, by far, one the the best "city-building," manage an economy, games ever created. You'll find yourself constantly busy either exploring new islands in which to gain resources, or building the necessary resource-gathering,or production buildings necessary to upgrade one's housing (which leads to even more items you'll need to obtain in order to keep your population happy). Though the military aspect of the game may dissapoint some players, the game is really meant for those who enjoy building a healthy enough economy to sustain a large community, which, if you choose, will equipt you with the necessary resources to overtake and destroy your competition - the other AI computer players/opponents. The graphics on this latest edition are breath-taking, and the game runs smoothly without any problems. This installment, following 1602, and 1503 AD (a very underated game in itself) wasn't voted IGN's Economic Similation game of the Year 2006 for nothing. I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys the challenge of managing a growing economy, within a city-building style of game.
