Experience the world in the age of discovery
The Good
The most catching aspect of this game is the story that unfolds as you play. No matter which charcacter you choose to play from, you will be drawn into a main story and a few side stories. You will meet the other characters during your travels and will probably end up helping them in some way. If you don't want to follow the main storyline, there are countries you can do missions for and gain rank. There is the entire world to explore and make discoveries for. You can even spread your country's empire through trade.
The Bad
The cost of operating a huge armada fleet was just too high to make it fun to conquer the world with. Although it is still possible, it takes a lot of planning and cash for that kind of fun
The Bottom Line
This game is a strategy, role playing, and economic simulator all wrapped over an enticing story. Even years after this game's release I feel it is worth playing. I know I give it a try at least once a year now, always discovering something new. Avid gamers shouldn't miss this title.
