Well made sequel, though it is too easy to a fault.
Faults? Not many but it should be mentioned that the upgraded graphics come at the cost of some sluggish framerates when scrolling around the map, versus their previous game.
The game is too easy though, even at the harder difficulties. As long as you play a careful game and send in troops in groups, you'll win. This was a problem with the previous game too and its a shame this game continues to be too easy.
The weirdest thing (and it seriously affects strategy) is that one cannot get rid of a troop or villager once created (unless you send it into battle to kill it on purpose). This can be a serious strategic concern since you can have only support so many troops with food. If you make too many villagers early in the game and then get attacked, you may find yourself wondering why the game makers wont let you get rid of troops you dont need any more.
What would make the game better? A more aggressive enemy AI. Too often the AI holds back, and its just a matter of me going in there with enough troops to destroy its buildings.
The new heros and god powers are fun to deploy and the game is still worth the bucks if you like turn-based games. I gotta wonder exactly how long the GS reviewer played this game. There's some issues like the ones I mention above and I'm kinda surprised they arent covered in the GS review because they should have been.
