User Rating: 4.2 | Anno 1503 PC
This game is a step backwards in many areas. Namely, there is no editor, and multiplayer functions will be released as a patch. I've been waiting several months now for this legendary patch (the primary reason I've been with-holding my review), and yet they still have no idea when it(the patch) will be ready for release. This game is essentially 1602AD with more units, cultures, and buildings. Released more than a year after the original release date, I had expected a lot more than what I've seen. Replay ability is very limited. After about 8 hours of play, I've sent this one to the dust bin. On the plus side, the new units are pretty fun, the combat is far better and the economy has been expanded to other areas, although managing the economy on any level but the near bottom is almost impossible. Bottom line, if you liked 1602AD, keep playing it, it's far better than this game.
