88It can easily become a minor obsession - the kind of game that you can constantly dip back into to have a quick fiddle before you leave it for a while.
-
80It's the best in the series and possibly one of the best real time strategy games around. However if you own "Settlers III" then this is more like an upgrade than a whole new game.
-
79Certainly the best representative of its series and genre. Its charm will surely attract even the players, which are not too keen on strategies.
-
70Even with the improved graphics and the addition of some new units and the Dark Tribe, the game just boils down into a repetitive jumble of micro-management that didn't have any really interesting catches or scenarios to keep me hooked.

JamesW.8An improvement on 3 but not a lot different or harder for the next edition there needs to be big to make it worthwhile.
