all right but not quite
The game offers several modes continuous play sceneries and a strange playground mode that i think is pretty pointless.
The game is all about colanising an islands in the Carribien and managing them by providing the people who start out as pioneers with the goods they desire and they became settlers more building options became available and you continue sometimes you fight the others trying to take over islands and a bland combat takes place that just leeches your eneconemy thats the contius mode the scenario mode has a variety of fun challanges and the playground mode basically just lets you build stuff. the sound is pretty average with some recycled sound effects overall it sets the theme.
In conclusion Anno 1701 is one of the best city builders out their because it has a good balance even tho it could use more scenarios.
