Great game - but not as addictive and fun than <moby title="Anno 1602">Anno 1602</moby>

The Good
The game has nice and detailed graphics, several different production line, it has more of everything that made Anno 1602 so addictive. You could wait hours doing nothing and keep looking your town grow bigger and greater.

The Bad
- Even as it tried to be better than its predecessor it failed as they changed some mechanics of the first part. Money is earned via shops and not via taxes any more. This makes the game really hard in the beginning.
- In addition are the AI is something not really worth mentioning as the enemy only builds on a little island and not really disturbing you any more.
- After 1 1/2 year the multiplayer part was finally cancelled.

The Bottom Line
Fun manager game settled in the time of Christoph Columbus. It is nice to see your city grow. If you know and liked Anno 1602 you will most likely have fun with this one too.
