Not bad, but definitely not great

The game is fun, much like Dungeon Keeper in game play and feel, but the graphics and UI are primitive, typical of games from 4-5 years ago. The zoom only allows two zoom levels, one incredibly close and one a little too far away. There's no way to adjust the speed of the game; you have to use the default speed that's sometimes a little too slow and sometimes a little too fast. And the gameplay becomes repetative pretty quickly. The comparison with The Sims is ridiculous. This game has none of the complicated behaviors and AI in The Sims.

It's a fun game, but not the breakthrough product. Dungeon Keeper II or Age of Empires II might be a better choice.

Good but not Great

I wouldn't really classify this game as a RTS. Place the buildings, set some rewards, and your troops just do their thing. It's an entertaining game but not involved enough for my liking.

This game [stinks]

This game [stinks]. ... Buy it if you want to occupy yourself for 1-2 days. It's basically doing the same thing over, trying to achieve new goals that each mission sets. Not much of an RPG, juz plain strategy with a medival theme.

Majesty is a great game because of a few things: 1.YOU DONT HAVE TO LOOK AFTER YOUR GUYS! They wander around doing what they want. 2.The graphics may not be good, but ome of the sound effects are really funny. 3.You can create your own levels and never get tired of playing.

A Great Stratagy Game that Actually Has an Origanal Concept!

I bought this game thinking that it would be a cross between Civilization 2 and Warcraft. I was surprised and pleased when I found that it wasn't like either of the games but was actually origanal in gameplay. At first I found it confuseing that you didn't get to controll the heros directly but I soon found that this adds a certain charm to the game and doesn't take anything away. Majesty is a great Stratagy/Fantasy game that any gamer should have. Be sure to watch out for the expansion thats comeing out soon.

Majesty is fun as a sim -- Not as an RTS game

For the Sim lover, Majesty holds a lot of good play time and an enjoyable set of scenarios to tackle. The ability to create your own scenarios provides more playability. The music is repetitive, but not altogether annoying (as some game music can be). The ability to improve buildings and recruit gnomes, dwarves and a variety of human heroes is enjoyable, humorous, and sometimes maddening -- especially when you've spent money to recruit one, and he runs away from some horrible monster. The ability to reward your heroes combines money-management skills along with the building of guilds, smithies, markets and heroes.

So why the three stars?

Majesty should never have been billed as an RTS game. It is foremost a simulation game. When compared with an RTS (real-time strategy) like Seven Kingdoms I can't help but think that Majesty falls short. This, I think, is its primary fault -- not so much the game itself as what the player's expectations of the game are. The game is FUN, as far as sims go. I have thoroughly enjoyed playing it AS A SIMULATION GAME. If you, however, are in the mood for an RTS or don't like sims as a general rule, this game is not worth your time as it will frustrate you -- and, quite frankly, seem inane.
