Was OK on a mobile phone...

This is rubbish. Utter and complete rubbish. I'll tell you why:
Firstly, it was difficult to install on my computer. The auto-install doesn't start - I had to launch it manually - and then it doesn't complete properly, leaving me with a `ghost' application in the taskbar and no icon on the desktop. So even getting the thing to run was a trial.
Secondly, the gameplay. What gameplay? This is no better than a version I had on a mobile phone! Where are the fantastic graphics and the strategic battles it talks about? The graphics are terrible: I kept losing my explorers in the woods because I couldn't see the tiny figures amongst the enormous trees. I would go as far as to say that the illustrations on the packaging (which are presented as if they were screen-shots) are deceptive. And as for the battles: I don't call dragging a box around a bunch of soldiers to select them, and then right clicking to launch them at a bunch of enemy soldiers particularly strategic! The gameplay is boring and uninteresting.
Thirdly, and this is my biggest complaint, it broke my computer! After I had finally figured out how to get out of the game (not easy in itself), I found I was unable to shut down the computer. It just hung in the `Windows is closing down' screen. And after a forced restart (I had to pull the plug on it!), it wouldn't run properly, refusing to launch any applications. I had to roll it back using a system restore to get it working again.
So in summary: if you want to pay a lot to strain your eyes, get bored, and break your computer, then buy this game. Otherwise, buy something cheaper and better. Civilization maybe?

Firstly, the graphics are stunning. Amazing attention to detail and the gameplay is pretty damn good too.
Well worth the £35 I payed because both games are brilliant |
