You won't be disappointed! But, there will be some stuff that will annoy you on this game. Read on.
-Graphics-
Good graphics in all. The graphics at the beginning of the game look extrordinary! But, for the game itself, it really slips. The battle braphics, are rediculously bland. They should have shown more detail, instead of a pack of blobs shooting white arrows into the wind. Joy. Other than that, the graphics of the landscapes are mindblowingly fantastic. Menus are clear, although cometimes a little confusing. The typing on saving game are a little awkward, but that doesn't really matter. 8/10 for graphics.
-Gameplay-
'Sim City, Your Time Is Up!'. Don't agree with that statement since they're both 2 extremely different games! I love the way it doesn't use a flipping grid! Although it is sometimes harder to fit things in, it allows more freedom of play. The story mode is rediculously difficult. And the matter of the food constantly running out and making you lose, will drive you up the wall. It's so difficult to get it exactly right. But then, later, you know, you'll lose for lack of food, then losing all your people, and soldiers, and overall money. Then the vikings attack you, game over. 6/10. Thats bieng generous.
-Length-
This game literally could go on forever! You won't be bored. Once you've finished the story mode, since every time is different, do it again. Try to improve and own those vikings! Plus, scenario and landscape modes let you create your own landscape, create it, and play on it. Although it's boring since you can't put other settlements on there, so theres no rivalry. Joy. But it's long, so 9/10
-General Game Addictiveness-
I didn't get addicted as such, but it was fun to play now and again. What i'd call a 'Background Game' which basically means 'Bored? Play this!'. But you won't want to be playing this day in day out. Since theres limited items, and the mistake on food and serenity will stress you out and want to make you never play the game again. 7/10.
-In all-
On average of the categories above, it leaves to a grand total of...
31/40. Which is around 7.8 out of ten
-Conclusion-
Although they tried to make the game with amazing detail, it didn't seem to pay off. Way too hard, and some features like food and serenity way too over the top. But in all it IS a fun game to play, when you want to get away from all these Xbox360 adventure games and the sims, medieval lords is here for you. But i wouldn't risk buying it. Rent it first!
S'all from me!
