Tedious, boring and slow.

The Good
Much like its predecessor, Settlers 3 has a fascinating resources management system. You'll have to find your way through dozens of different buildings which can only be built under specific conditions.

The Bad
Unlike the intuitive and straight-forward way used in Settlers 2, this game is annoying. All of the buildings look the same, and you never know whether a building is well supplied or not. Additionally, you need special structures to get more workers, which adds to the general chaos, and there are no roads to ease management.

The Bottom Line
The new graphics are great, but losing some of the original's mechanics was a mistake.
