Version: Glory of the Roman Empire demo
"Outstanding!"
Pros: I loved this game demo...and I can't wait to buy the actual game.
The graphics are beautiful and very detailed. There are many options, menus and buildings to choose from, and it looks like the game will have tons more. I think they did a great job with this demo as they start you out very simple, with small portions of the the menu and buildings, so you are not overwhelmed with trying to figure out what to do. It takes you through step by step so you can become familiar with the controls of the game...wish more demos were like that!
As you progress through the 6 missions, you get more challenges and more menu options open up. I thought there was tons of stuff to do, and by the end of demo I found myself definately wanting to play more. From the previews of the full game, it looks like the demo only has a very small portion of whats in the full game, so it looks very exciting.
This demo focuses on starting villages and getting them to grow successfully, you don't even get to the military and big city life, so it appears the game is going to be huge with lots to do.
I loved Age of the Empires III, and this felt simular to that game, only it focuses more on the details of starting the villages and growing them into cities.
As for downloading and playing this demo, I had no problems at all. Everything went smoothly and worked perfectly for me. Here my system info: XP SP2, Pent 4 3.2Ghz, 512 RAM and Geforce FX5200.
Cons: None, loved it...I thought they did a great job with this demo.
