    The city-building series has been popular before, but we think Zeus has the potential to blow this series up big-time.

    Its total package is made up of great game play, great graphics, great sound . . . just an overall great experience.

    In depth campaigns and three open-ended sandbox modes give you all the game you could ever want.

    The game dynamics are the best improvement in the game. Structures are being built faster, and require fewer resources.

    Zeus plays like a best-of-all-worlds combination of some of the greatest strategy games ever.

    If you loved "Caesar" and "Pharaoh," you'll probably really like Zeus. You'll probably enjoy the game also if you enjoy the challenge of building a city and an economy to run it, provided you have the patience to wait for your efforts to bear fruit.

    More ambitious than its predecessors, but ultimately less balanced. [Jan 2001, p.148]
