BUGGIEST GAME I EVER PLAYED

I have NEVER, in 13 years of playing PC games run into one that has so many problms. It is a shame that the publisher released this game in UNFINISHED coondition. It has been in the stores since January 14th. First of all, every time you put the game in the CD drive, it wants to reinstall itself. The mouse pointer disappears during game play. The audio quality is horible. The game freezes constantly when you can get the mouse pointer to stay alive. It speeds up. It slows down. It was installed on both a WIN95 and WIN98 computer, both with Gforce 2 video cards and 128MB ram. On the Data Becker web site, they claim a patch is comming soon. Ya know what, don't bother. It's not worth the grief. Oh, and when I uninstalled it, it uninstalled DirectX. I had to reinstall DirectX and reconfigure my video drivers on BOTH computers. If this is the way they release games, these folks should be forbidden from selling, period.

Fun game (has potential) but numerous BUGS

This game is fun with the exception of some major bugs. There seems to be major graphic and mouse problems. My system easily met all the requirements but I had nothing but problems from the initial install. I even tried the latest patch 1.01 and things got worse. The games locks up right at the main menu screen with the patch installed. It's too bad, the game was right fun even though I had to suffer through the graphic and mouse problems before the patch. P.S. - I don't have any problems running Age of Empies II, Sudden Strike, Shogun and Command and Conquer Red Alert 2. Buyer beware...

MIght be good if it worked

I installed the game on a P-III, with 256 MB RAM, Windows ME, and 32 MB of Video Ram. The game wouldn't run. I then downloaded the patch from Data Becker and it still wouldn't run. All I ever got to see of the game was a blue Windows error message screen and a prompt to reboot. (E-mails to tech support went unanswered.) The pictures on the box look nice though.

Bottom Line: Save your money -- I returned it after a week of trying to get it to work.

ZzzzZzzz.....

WHAT...THE...HECK...IS...THIS? Never in my life have I seen a game so cheap, so poor, or so dispicable! This game is about America and stages from the Native Americans, to the Civil War, to WWII soldiers. You might consider this game if your a major history buff, but all that it is a cheap clone of Age of Empire. ....

Please... Stop the pain.

America is another example of why Data Becker should change their strategy from making video games, to not making video games.

At least I got it to run...

It runs. Thats the good part. The game is a low-grade Age of Empires. Don't bother, just don't bother.

BUY SOMETHING ELSE

The game was alright at the start but got old fast.

If you liked 'Age of Empires' you'll like this-

I don't know what everyone is complaining about- I've had absolutely no problems at all. I'm running an 800mhz Athlon with a Gforce Prophet. It's identical to 'Age of Empires'. Same interface, etc. You can play an Indian, settler, Mexican or Outlaw. Each have their own unique traits and skills. It's not bad. The game playing options are a little limited but I like the idea of playing "cowboys and Indians" and riding in on my stolen horse to burn settlers houses was quite amusing! It's different from all those other games out there and I applaud those game makers out there trying to break the "Quake" mold to which I'm totally bored with....

"Only Indians can swim"...?!?!?!?

Haven't played it, haven't seen it active on a computer. I read the back of the box in a store, and I have to wonder -- what brainiac game designer decided that ONLY INDIANS CAN SWIM? I suppose it must serve some strategic purpose within the game to have different skills and different limitations for each group, Mexicans versus Natives versus cavalry. But with such obviously unrealistic limitations as ONLY INDIANS CAN SWIM, I have to wonder how backwards the rest of the game must be.

Awsom Game

I think this game is one of the best! It is somewhat related to Age of Empires and Star craft but is unique too. I love it!
