A good city-building game, but can be frustrating

User Rating: 8 | Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile PC
This game is a very good city-builder, with loads of buildings to choose from and various people classes. The game is the first to use the system of people being your currency, not money, and it works quite well. You dont need to pay for decorative buildings or basic housing, but the bigger buildings you have to pay in bricks, which are made at the brickworks. The tutorials are a huge help, and tell you everything you need to know (dont start the game without doing the tutorials!). However, it is easy to forget the numerous aspects of the game and you will find yourself playing the hour-long tutorials again, which is quite frustrating. The graphics are very good, but the sound is a bit odd, with ancient Egyptians saying modern-day phrases. The gameplay will keep you glued for a day or two, possibly more. If you are a fan of city-building games, you should definately check this game out!
