• Another great game from this company

  MayxFebruary 23, 2007

  Pros

  It has a very nice tutorials. <p> <p>I like the look of the cartoon graphics. They work perfectly for the game. <p> <p>If you have already registered for the companys other games you don't have to RE-REGISTER. That's always a plus! <p> <p>You can play single player or multi-player. <p> <p>It's a very small download, and the patches didn't take long at all to download. <p> <p>This is not a normal MMORPG. You don't fight monsters, you play games to beat your bounty. You play strategy games to win. <p> <p>If you like puzzle pirates (the other game from the publisher), you MIGHT like this game.

  Cons

  I had some problems with it not going full screen. It went ALMOST full screen...it caused problems with seeing all the action on the screen. <p> <p>The 4 games you can play are basicly the same thing. If you don't like strategy games you wouldn't like this game at all. <p> <p>Slow gameplay, but it's expected with a strategy game.

• Great MMO RTS for ANYone!

  Pros

  First things first, and I know this bugs some people, but you must register to play this game. It's a very quick procedure though and took about a minute total for me to sign up and confirm my email address. After you've downloaded the preliminary client you have to go throug a couple minutes of updating and patching (5-10 minutes on an average internet connection), but after that you can log in and start the game. First thoughts: AWESOME 3D graphics... a bit cartoony but that's what's fun about this game. You can to create your own character and set up a few other aspects of your account from here, and then you are given the option of joining up a multiplayer game, going through the tutorials (highly recommended!) or playing a single player game. The gameplay itself is sort of confusing at first, but after you've gone through the tutorials and whatnot it is a lot of fun. The maps are small and the entire game I played lasted only a couple minutes, so joining up a game isn't a huge, time-consuming committment like other MMO games. There were only a couple of servers online but I'm positive there will plenty more in the near future. Outside of gameplay you can visit the town, where you can do all sorts of stuff I haven't even explored yet... The cartoon-y setting and cute western themed graphics and "speech" (actually text) are an excellent touch to this well-rounded, family-friendly multiplayer RTS game with an awesome replay value.

  Cons

  Only a couple servers online, somewhat confusing to get the hang of, but these are to be expected.
