Needless to say if you look on the back of the box it states from ages 9 and up. It has pretty much the same quests, and gets quite boring after 2 or three scenarios. Don't waste your money, you will be disappointed. I took mine back after 1 day. Hope this helps....

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.

Old

The game is a typical real time strategy/tactics. It combines elements from familiar Microprose games (e.g. Masters of Magic) with real time components. The major drawback of the game is that there's really not much to do - the game kind of plays itself. You only contribute by building buildings and telling them to produce units. The mechanism for controlling the units is kind of awkward, even if somewhat different than other games. You set a price on a territory to explore or a bad guy to kill and the units respond based on their character. There's no way to give specific commands to units. The game gets old really fast, the variations in strategy from one scenario to the next are negligible. It's interesting at first but gets boring very quickly. In addition the scenarios are kind of easy. I gave it up after the first two hours. I think you can find tons of better RT strategy games. I am a huge fan of the Microprose titles and this was a big time dissapointment.

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.

Not too impressive

This game is pretty fun if you like being slautered and having very little control over it. Imagine this: you're having a nice little time building your little kingdom when all of the sudden 3 huge minatours come and start hacking away at all you have worked so hard for. You want them killed so you put a reward on their heads, but all of your hero dudes are off chasing giant rats and stuff. In the mean time your pathetically wimpy city gaurds are getting slautered. Well I think you get the picture. I personally had fun until I got hacked to death with nothing to do about it.

Simple strategy. But good.

Majesty is a very simplistic point and click game. Based in medievil times where knights, wizards and dragons roam the earth. You, the player, play the king of your kingdom. Situated in your castle, you fight off evil enemies ranging from trolls, minotaurs, vampires, triffids, zombies, skeletons, giant rats and rat men with your knights, archers and wizards. You start off slowly building your empire with guard towers, warrior's guilds, markets, blacksmiths and wizard towers. As you build your kingdom, you generate more money with the help of the tax collecter who happily visits every home and shop keep to collect tax for the construction of your kingdom. You then train knights and archers to protect the castle and its peasants.

With simple yet impressive graphics and colour, Majesty looks well. The gameplay is very simple (which isn't bad) and sometimes gets repetative (which is bad). Majesty reminds me of Dungeon Keeper (which is also a good game) with its humour and character movements.
Overall, this game is a pleasure to play, but lacks long life. The other bad thing that I can say about this game is that you can't controll any of your men. They just wonder around where ever they like until they stumble across a monster to fight. Good game but soon lacks over time.

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.

Not bad, but not great either

Majesty isn't a bad game, the graphics are quite good for a strategy game, and the game play allows you to catch on quickly. The tutorial is pretty good as well, but the game can either be too easy or too tough.

Some of the scenarios are really easy and others seem very hard. There are a few I couldn't get after several tries. At least all the scenarios had decent stories to them, which is better than some games out there.

My only real complaint with the game was that it didn't hold my interest. I played it for about a month, and then went on to another game. It's not bad, but it tends to get old after a while, it's the same types of things over and over.
