    It can easily become a minor obsession - the kind of game that you can constantly dip back into to have a quick fiddle before you leave it for a while.

    It's the best in the series and possibly one of the best real time strategy games around. However if you own "Settlers III" then this is more like an upgrade than a whole new game.

    Certainly the best representative of its series and genre. Its charm will surely attract even the players, which are not too keen on strategies.
