User Rating: 9.5 | Pharaoh PC
While this game appears to be nothing more than an average, run of the mill city building/ strategy game on the surface, once you give it a chance, it will draw you in! I think this game offers a unique twist to the city sim/strategy experience. The in-game controls are relatively simple to grasp and provide the Pharaoh (that's you) with all the information needed to build a successful kingdom. The graphics are decent for this style of game and are better than some of the other games in this genre. The scenarios are fun and immersive. Time definitely has a way of getting away from you when you play this game. Before you know it, you will have invested many hours in the pursuit of perfection. You can select particular scenarios to play or revisit, or you can play in a "Dynasty" mode and RULE THE WORLD mmwwaahhahaha....(Egypt anyway). During the course of the game you can oversee everything from economics and politics to food procurement and distribution. The building and deployment of armies is a must in order to defend your territories from invasion and to procure more land in the name of the Pharaoh. This is one of my favorite games of this type and can become quite addictive once I start to play it again. This game earned my respect.
