I think everybody who liked the other Settler games should but this. It is much better than the others. I think it has better sounds and graphics. I strongly recomend this game.

this game is not bad.. but it is nowhere near the worth of its price, and why would you buy this game when you can buy other, better games?

Well, as with many games there are always countless add on's, extra features and new versions. Many fail to please the average gamer, but with settlers, the game never seems falls into the ... sequel category. Put bluntly, if you liked Settlers 1,2 or 3 at all. YOU will be amazed and fall in love with 4. Prepare to be cut off from the world for at least a few months when you purchase this game! :)

A Good Buy -

Should be called V3.5

Waitng for the US version, I found the UK copy in one shop and bought it. The graphics look improved as they say. The animations look a little better and the buildings seem to be designed from scratch. They are very colorful and they look good.

But the gameplay hasnt improved much compared to settlers 3. If you played the Settlers 3 then you will see that there are no major improvements in the game. It is more like a good expansion. The soldiers are a little difficult to control. For example you have to try very hard when retreating. The computer looks good so far. The software is a little buggy, it crashes often so be sure to save your game constantly. Also it seems there is a problem with the 3D support. When i turn on the 3D support. The game slows down and the mouse pointer slows down too. There are already a few patches on the site but the game still freezes.

But nevertheless the game is fun to play at least for a while. If you liked the S3 then probably youll like this one too but dont expect too much. If you havent played S3 then i certainly recommend it.

Bring back settlers 2

I have played the demo of this and i thought that it was not up to much having played settlers 1 and 2 which i thought were really good. they shouldn't have got rid of the old format. One thing to improve all of the game would be to make it a bit more realistic in the way that all the buildings were built as i ony can take about four pieces of wood to build a whole hosue. I think that they should bring back the style of settlers 2 which was a fantastic game without a doubt. I just liked the way that you had to make our own paths and get the little people to bring all your things from one end of the map to the other. I think that it has lost its original game format from the beginning which is a bad thing to loose. They should bring back the original format but revamp it but not as much as this did.

Forget About It

This game isn't coming out. Its been delayed and delayed and delayed again. It was supposed to come out last chrismas, then got postponed to about the end of Febuary, then to the beginning of June, and now practicly the end of July. I wouldn't be surprized if they just cancel the game entirely.

Very Good Game.

Although I am a fullhearted settlers-fan since long ago, I really can't find myself recommending my favourite game. First, what is positive: The settlers are cuter than ever, the introduction of the Dark Tribe is great and the archers are a valuable adding to the soldiers. Also, I very much like the way you have to use gold to make the strongest soldiers and to build eyecatchers. But none of this help much when your computer keeps crashing with one fatal error after the other. After three or four patches/fixes, nothing much has changed, old errors disappear, new ones come along. One of the really cool things with SIV was supposed to be the possibility to play the game online with other players, but multiplayer doesn't work. The LAN functions don't work and the lagging is horrible. Worse off are you if you have a computer with the combination Win ME and Nvidia videocard, then it gets almost impossible. And there is little or no help to get from the internet helpline. Most emails are simply ignored. I bought my game back in april, qualifying for all the recommended requirements, and i still haven't been able to play the game properly. And also, if you want the map-editor to make your own gamemaps, you have to buy the "expansion" pack that is coming in a while. Sorry guys, but it is tumb-down from me...
