User Rating: 6.3 | Anno 1503 PC
For strategy game fans, 1503 has some interesting features. Probably the most interesting part of the game is the need to plan and position your colony's buildings with great care so that you build an efficient town; this gives an extra dimension that many other games lack. Unfortunately, however, the game contains too many little annoying 'features', causing a fair amount of frustration. For example, you spend fifteen minutes collecting the money and equipment necessary to train an army only for half of them to get 'lost' on their way to the awaiting ships. If you can stand the repetition that arises from such bugs, the game can be entertaining - but not enough for me.
