    Relatively unique in the fact that it makes clear use of the Hanseatic League and has many references to the history of that large organization, this title still fails to present worthwhile gameplay, leaving the character to shuttle supplies from town to town, without much reward or entertainment value.

    If you are the obsessive type who likes to control every little happening, the trade of every historically-accurate bushel of grain, then Patrician II will supply a lengthy, stream of satisfaction.

I only have to criticize the difficulty level, because the game is really complex and has a tough learning curve. Not a game for a fast session, it demands a lot of time. I recommend the Gold Edition!… Full Review »
