Customer Reviews of 1701 A.D.
Fan of 1602 & 1503 A.D. I was a big fan of 1602 A.D. and 1503 A.D. These games were more fun than 1701 A.D. Sure the graphics are much better and game play is improved but the joy of balancing the economy is almost gone. Most of the hard building is done for you. There is no campaign story line and the game seems too easy. <

> I hope that there is a release of an expansion that adds to this game but right now it's pretty boring after the first few plays. <

> This is a good game that could be great with a few improvements.
Stellar graphics not so stellar camera
First, let me say that the title sums up my feeling for this game perfectly. The game play is good, but it is nothing compared to the graphics. The graphics in 1701 are some of the best I have seen, especially, the water. Once you get into the game itself it is a lot of fun. You do learn ,however, that like so many things what you put into it is directly related to what you get out of it. You can survive and do fairly well with out having good relations with the other players, however, you are missing out on a very well made diplomacy system. Though the diplomacy system is simple it is effective and fun. The only complaint is with the camera. For some reason the camera does this funny hesitation thing. It doesn't respond right away. It sort of hesitates ever so slightly. It is not a really big deal except when, later in the game, you have a lot to manage. There are times where you need to scroll over to a specific spot quickly, but over shoot it. Other then that, the game is solid and one of the best builder/sims out there currently. Don't expect any "Total War" type battles, but you can build an army and battle on the high seas as well as land. It is a builder first, but does have some strategy to it. In conclusion, I gave it five stars for the fun factor and 4 stars overall notwithstanding the camera flaw. I think the fun factor, graphics, and a pretty darn fun and easy diplomacy system out-wiegh the flaw.
It's just building, and Destroying, and Taking Over!
You have to like city builder games to appreciate this game. the graphics are good, I only wish it had a long senario to play and finish, but mostly this game is free play. My best game is the set up of big Islands, all People and then make it last person standing!
