I dont have the game yet but i tried the demo and the game is awsome i cant wait for it to come out! You can build your own kingdom and wage war on everyone else. Its based a long time ago and its really fun!

Not bad, just nothing new

Games involving the colonization of the American Colonies are not a new idea, but I can at leat respect a company with the guts to try.

Two main things

The graphics are great, but there is really no SUBSTANCE to the great graphics.

The price is outragious for what you end up getting although this game is fun, it is not worth 42 bucks.

You have too options here
1. Wait for the price to go down on a pricey but rather expensive game

2. Break out the old computer with Win 95 version 4 and play some "COLONIZATION"(You old Sid Myer fans will know what I mean).

This game is sooooo boring!!!!!

I bought this game used for really cheap so I'm not mad about the money I wasted but I am ticked about the time I spent trying to figure this stupid game out. First, the tutorial taught me just about nothing. I had to read the manual over and over again. My sheep NEVER had enough grazing land even though everything was cleared. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to make or buy tobacco. I only found 2 cultures and I couldn't even sign a treaty with one of them. If I managed not to lose my scout, the only thing I ever found was more mineral deposits that did me no good because I couldn't build on any other islands but my own. All I did was watch my money go down and down and down. I wish they would of made this game a little more user friendly. It might have been enjoyable then.

will this title ever ship??

This is a game for 5 years old. A real economy does not function like that at all! It needs a government, rules, accounts and so on. It is impossible to really control anything in this game where really annoying things happen (why prevent those stupid potatos to reach this stupid tavern for the only reason that a piece of mud road is missing!). This is not the sort of thing that makes a game funny!
I am still looking for a strategy game where invading your neighbour is not the only way to win and where the economy functions on a truly realistic basis. This is not the one (despite fun graphics)!

Not that great

Build through power, build through peace and build through pure frustration. This game is so complicated, that its a drag to play. First of all I'll start by saying that the graphics look spectaculaire. Secound of all it takes for ever to do any thing in the game. You'll try to explore, manage a growing empire and build a thriving colony over many many days of playing. You'll constantly run into money problems and to this day I still can't figure out how to set traid routs. Dureing this game you will rarely get attacked on land and your traid boats will conatantly get harrsed by pirates and your enemys. This game looked good on the rack in the store, but when you start to play it you'll relize that the game isnt that great. If you want a good stratigy game, get strongholed or age of empires.
