 NICE SCENERY NO OPPOSITION January 9, 2009
Settlers Rise of an Empire is graphically the best settlers game yet, the only let down is that there is very little real opposition to you. In the earlier Settlers game computer generated opponents would either attack you at some point or leave you alone until you attacked them, once that happened and war was declared they would be all over you like a rash. This game the computer generated opponents just seem purely defensive.
The building of seige weapons and using them is fun and the ability to build lovely complex castles is great but sadly seldom were they put to the test by my enemies so not much more than eye candy really.
In a lot of cases I was still not fully promoted before I ran out of enemies to fight! Great game but really was way too easy
 Stunning November 20, 2008
I love this game. The grahics are stunning and gameplay is smooth.
The only problem I have is that is seems to stop playing after a while on my computer. Not sure whether special updates or patches are needed.

Well, what can one say. The game isn't bad, it just lacks most things that make these types of games good. Explained very simple: This is just basic stuff, where you click on a guy, tell him to do something, and watch the event unfold. Not very entertaining, and not the best time spent if you ask me. In addition you click and watch like this, to abysmal music. No, rent a movie instead, or get Civilization 4. That is a good game, and in the same genre!

Not a game for Settlers fans, its been dumbed down a good measure.
I bought it for my girlfriend, but she does not play a lot of PC games so I thought it would be OK for her. Its certainly easy enough. She did enjoy it to a point but got bored of it.
I will admit its fun enough to play for a while, but the total absence of depth will leave you not bothering to return. Can highly recommend for young children, or people very new to gaming. But to anyone else I would suggest your not get your monies worth.
