  • Summary: An RTS of power, lust, ambition, and greed, America is set in the wildest days of the Wild West. You control the destiny of a group of people (settlers, Native Americans, Mexicans, and outlaws) and lead them, by your guile, to power and prosperity. [Data Becker]

  1. A cerebral challenge that has the right combination of historical perspective, easy control elements, well-designed graphics, and solid game play.
  2. We've played "Age of Empires," and America, you are no "Age of Empires."
  3. America had the potential here for a great game, but that limited multiplayer and weak AI really is a let down.
  4. The game's graphics are uninspired and the sound is awful, and those elements in the gameplay that are subtly different from those in other real-time strategy games won't be noticeable to any but the most experienced real-time strategy players.

    Everybody loves America! Uh, okay, not everybody. But I like the American theme. It feels like a good copy and expansion pack for Age of Empires II. If you like that type of game and want to try Native American, American, Outlaw and Mexican civilizations, get this game now! It is much better than the "50" average score and probably very cheap now because of all of the negative reviews!! Expand

    "Been there, done that." Not a "must-have" game, but it's not bad, either. It does look a lot like Age of Kings.
