Alt i alt er History of the World en flad oplevelse. For hvad er meningen med et PC-spil, der tydeligt er hentet fra brætspilsverdenen, uden nytænkning?

Eigentlich eine solide Umsetzung, die Avalon Hill hier hingelegt hat. Da die Computergegner zudem sehr stark sind, brauchen Sie nicht zwingend Mitspieler. Jedoch ist mir der Sinn von derartigen "Gesellschaftsspielen" auf dem PC völlig unklar. Die Kämpfe werden nun mal durch Würfelglück entschieden, und ich wäre doch gerne meines Glückes eigener Schmies. Die Würfel in den verschwitzten Händen noch mal anpusten - toi, toi, toi - und dann mit viel Schwung übers ganze Brett werden, hoffen, beten, bangen. Diese Dramatik und der damit verbundene Spielspaß fehlen hier völlig.

All of the joy of expansion and conquest has been sucked out of this game like the final drops out of a Slurpee cup.
