When I first got my copy of Colonization, I was looking forward imensly to playing it, since I had already read The reviews that the computer magazines had given it (I saw no review with less then 90%). But despite such flattering and arse licking reviews, I will still a bit cautios: I had seen many sequels (and it is clear that Colonization is a sequel to the superb Civilization) that were complete flops, despite their excellant predecessors. But I was not dissapointed. Although I did not think that much of the game after the first 2 games, after I finally got to grips to it, I was hooked. The game has so much depth and long term gameplay that I was hooked and playing for hours on end. Although the graphics have been attacked slightly by some critics as being a bit dull, The actual presenation of the information and of the game as a whole was excellant and easy to undersatnd.
Well, anyway, you`ve heard my view on the game. Although some people do not trust reviews since they are nearly always full of one persons opinion, This is not the case with Colonization. The game is fun, addcitive and faithfull to its predecessor, but not a complete copy. Go out and buy the game, especially is your into strategy games. Beleive me, you will not be dissapointed!
RATING: 9/10
