Age of Wonders II: The Wizard's Throne
Windows version
A very hard game, but enjoyable to say the least.
The Good
This game, is rather different to other strategy games I have played. First of all, it's turn based. Thats the one big thing to get used to. Its easy after a while, make your moves, produce units, manage its income and things like that, then u end turn. The next turn will begin once all the other opponents have finished their turn.
There is so much to do in this game! Theres a story mode, which is very good and challenging. A scenario mode, where you pick a scenario and a character, modify the options and go straight into a game. Theres a multiplayer option to. You can play with them all at the same computer, or you can play online.
The Bad
There isn't much wrong with this game apart from:
1. The game may be a little hard for beginners in the genre. It provides a huge challenge!!!
2. The game takes a while to get used to how it works. It is noticably different from real time strategy games.
3. The battles are long. You win a war with two players takes an hour atleast.
The Bottom Line
This game is challenging, different, and highly addictive. Go buy it!!! I got mine for £19.99 at Virgin Megastores!!! Im in the U.K. as you can guess. The price is roughly $32 in american dollars. Just buy it!!!!!!!
