What Gamespot Users have to say about The Settlers: Rise of an Empire
- Rating:8
One of the best Settlers game so far, good for people that like city builders, empire builders:)
The latest Settlers - Rise of an Empire, was a pleasant surprised to me. I missed a good city builder with great graphics, and nice, easy to get in game play. Managing your cities and watching how they grow is a pretty... Read Full Review

VERY DISAPPOINTING
I wasted 9 hours of my life on this game trying to burn down the enemy. Assaulting the enemy castle itself took me 3 hours, in the end the game freeze and I had to restart the computer. THIS happened in just one skirmish... Read Full Review

Nice graphics, animations and sound. But look under the hood and greet a developer team new to the concept of a mouse.
One word guys, scrolling. Move the mouse pointer to the edge of the screen, and get lucky: If you managed to hit the edge at some pixel already populated by one of the numerous pop-up windows, the game won't scroll a... Read Full Review

Fairly solid game, however, it can be tedious at times and really is nothing new.
This game is fairly solid from what I have seen so far. I experienced no bugs throughout the entire campaign, though as of yet I have been unable to connect online. The levels are fairly fun and it does a good job of k... Read Full Review

Very solid experience and good economic model, great detailed graphics, good medieval themed music.
This is the first settlers game I've ever played, and I'm enjoying it very much. The medieval setting is very well ambiented using excellent voice acting and music, the graphics are very very colorful and full of tiny d... Read Full Review
