The only negative thing to say about this game is that there’s no multiplayer mode. Apart from that I’m sure that you will spend a lot of hours playing this title.

Aside from those minor quibbles, I really enjoyed Dawn of Discovery, but keep in mind that if you're not already a fan of real-time strategy games, this game might not be the one to suck you in, especially not on a console. It's certainly well-adapted, but the difficulty curve is pretty high, and I'm not sure that people will have the patience to go through the tutorial that's masked as a story mode. However, if you're willing to stick it out, there's a ton of depth here that can keep you busy for hours on end, and it's a great value at $30.

Games Master UKA universally enjoyable game. [Aug 2009, p.84]

Finally, a deep and complex strategical experience on our consoles. Control scheme is perfect, and Dawn of Discovery shows a great variety and a nice look.
-
Perfectly judged adaptation of the PC series, with just the right level of complexity and challenge.
-
This game of exploration and city building hits the occasional rough patch, but it's a captivating adventure nonetheless.
-
Mostly, this is a relaxing Sunday-afternoon game, and good at either accompanying the digestion of a roast dinner or the slow exorcism of a hangover.

SSAug 30, 2009This game is a lot of fun. The tutorial mode is very long and thorough. But once you get past that, it's a lot of fun.

TimASep 12, 2009First strategy game I've played on a console - that is excellent. Controls are great on the Wii.
