Played all the series from 1602 AD....nothing can trump the emotions of the old game but this is good as far as sequels go.

The game has great graphics, this requiring a good pc with a performance video card...

Really like that they made the islands bigger, so you can actually build a decent city....

The orient is a nice touch and the free restriction-less trading with the "lord" is great, but takes out some of the fun it had in 1701...

The negative? islands shaped like boxes, the prime shape is still a box and you cant build on higher ground its all leveled....I mean where in the world is the ground perfectly level, besides salt flats and so...

Mainland? why cant it be on a mainland, a realistic Americas or Africa or Europe???? really would like this!!!

overall it will provide you with relaxing city management for countless hours...
