I highly encourage this game for fans of any city building simulator. It captures the intellectual component (logistics, economics, accounting) while still entertaining you by watching the trains go by.
Graphics are okay but not as stunning as in other pool/billiard games. The tournaments are nice to play trough and I like the fact that you can unlock pool/billiard and other stuff then.
The final DLC pack has been announced and to be honest, it doesn't even try to acheive what the final BL2 DLC looked it did when that was announced. Although I'll hold onto it, this game has not lived up to the hype. Only really get it if you're an avid Borderlands fan, and even then try and pick it up in a sale.
I've really enjoyed playing this game since I bought it yesterday. I actually saw featured when it was released, but didn't think it was my style of game; it definitely is! In a weird way, it kind of reminds me of The Movies, in that you kind of do the same activities, but mix and match until you find the right combination, have to pay attention to industry trends, update technology/research, make sure your employees aren't getting tired out, and manage a business. I also love the history-ish aspect of it and thinking about all the games I've played in my life, haha.
I bought this game a few years ago, and it's actually the only racing game I own on my computer. I really like the graphics and the races can be challenging at points (since I just use my keypad). The challenges and the graphics keep me coming back despite finishing the campaign a long time ago!
This truly was a fun game to play. We had played 4 other Broken Sword games, but never this first one. We were glad to see how Nico & George met and then how George met Pearl & Duane for the first time. It has a great story, lots of humor, good graphics and NO bugs. The game-play increased in difficulty as you played, but with a built in hint system, there was no need to look at a walkthrough. We highly recommend this game to anyone who loves true adventure games. By the way, when you finish the game, click on the Templar Cross to learn about how the developer, Revolution, came to be. Being in the computer business in those days, it was very interesting to read.
Really enjoyed this game. Simple premise, finding objects, but the bartering and shopping adds a lot of fun. I was keen to play again to improve my results.
This game is visually stunning, not cutesy - but elegant and clever. The detail is amazing. And the puzzles are a real challenge, but you get enough clues to keep you going. Looks like a kids game, but really is for adults who want to feel that child like wonder and awe again.
Expected a lot more than ugly cartoon style graphics. It is not noir and it is not stylish or cool. Far from it. Boring boring game. The dialogues are so tedious. Hated it.
The story was a complete surprise, loved it. Graphics excellent. But I was so bored wandering around, I wanted some direction. I cheated and used a walk through to get to the end. There just needed to be more of a "game" element to make me care enough to put the story together.
This DLC is so great because you have one more industry in the game that provides you with money. This industry is so rentable because can be used in the colonial era, because is not a heavy industry.
This DLC is great because you can build a new military building. Yes, you can build a new fort if you want more military buildings, but this building is much beautiful and provides you elite infantry, like the presidential palace. This DLC have also a dictator costume that look awsome and a new island, but the most important part of the DLC is the military building.
This DLC adds a new mission, a new map a new costume, a new soundtrack and a new building: The Dolphinarium. This is interesting, the building can be visited by the tourists, but it's not a must to have thing. Also, the map, costume, mission and soundtrack... you can play very weel without its. I bought this DLC because I am a fan of Tropico, but it's not the greatest pack for this game.
As a grand strategy games player I thought this game would be too simple to be interesting. I was wrong. The scope is certainly limited and it's mainly a good entry level game for beginners. But, surprisingly, the game offer challenges and hours of play/replay. I would say it's better that it looks.
I would have rated the game 4 or 5 if it had a difficulty level setting. It's hardly understandable this feature is lacking as it would have been really easy to implement using the existing game mechanics of prestige points. Prestige points can be used to "buy" (request from high command) more divisions or specialized brigades, so why not give more or less starting prestige as a difficulty level ?
The base game Unity of command was a surprise for me, offering interesting challenges despite the limited scope of the game (for a grand strategy player). The Black turn expansion offers more gameplay with new scenarios and the same the run against the clock (to take objectives on time) and the uttermost importance of protecting your supply lines.
Sadly, a difficulty level setting is still lacking in this expansion.
