I have never played any of the other Settlers sports meeting, and this one piqued my interest when I first heard about it. I’ve been flirting with the thought of picking it up for the past several weeks, and I finally did.
I am extremely disappointed.
First of all – I thought the demo’s tutorial was a one-time thing. No – your very first mission in the real game requires you to complete the same tutorial with no option to skip it. After this – you figure the tutorials are over… WRONG!
Your hand is held constantly owing to each mission, and they basically walk you owing to exactly what to do. There is no challenge to this. What is worse – you start each mission in the same position… having to rebuild the same exact buildings… having to watch your gold/stone/wood/food crawl up to the same exact level… having to do the same exact upgrades… and then – just as you hit the fun part and your agreement starts rolling by the side of…
New mission. Do again everything again.
Though it looks pretty at first, and you might not mind building up a agreement the first time – having to do it over and over and over and over with no variety and crappy voice actors hand holding you owing to every step and forcing you to click owing to their dialogue is not fun.
This game has potential… but ultimately it is completely lacking in difficulty and most importantly fun. I uninstalled it after 15 minutes and it is going on the shelf to collect dust now. When it says “Ages 10+” on the box – just read: Age 10 or not more than.

The Settlers: Rise of an Empire is easily one the worst sports meeting I’ve ever played. The graphics are nice, but that’s all I can say excellent about it. The game play is horribly dull, and the “approach” element is non-existent and the game is riddled with bugs and terrible design choices (even with the latest patch). The military aspect should not even have been included or they should have done a much better job of designing it before releasing it.
There is absolutely NO challenge in this game. If you are a fan of 4X sports meeting or even RTS sports meeting, you will always beat the computer after about two sports meeting without even really trying. This game is terrible. Save your hard-earned cash and buy something else. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was for the graphics.

I bought this game on Amazon and after the install I was constantly reminded to insert the original disk even though it was still loaded in the same guide from which it was installed. I finally had to download a no DVD crack just to get the game to load. Beyond this, the game won’t update, saying the enclosed serial key is invalid. The game won’t play past the first scenario without crashing. If you want this game, I suggest you download the warez version and save yourself the hassle.

I have not played any other Settler sports meeting but jumped on this one as it looked very promising.
This game has proved to be dull and repetitious, every scenario starts the same and you have to sit around and wait for goods to pile up in the storehouse before you can get on with the task at hand.
By contrast, in the Stronghold sports meeting (Firefly) for instance the missions start with varying degrees of cash or resouces, often against your favour which means you have have to rely on your smarts to win.
Not so with Settlers. But the resolution worst aspect of this game is the fact that it is very unfriendly towards your system, especially if you have an Nvidia graphics cards. I run a GeForce 7500 LE with 512mb and the latest forceware,(and the latest game patch)the game will shut down the computer after max 10 minutes gameplay. Go to the Ubisoft Settlers forum and you will see page after page of complaints regarding this issue. One guy claims the game in fact broke his graphics card!
The game was obviously place on the market WAY too soon, it is not nearly developed enough. It is as if Ubisoft is using the consumer as beta-testers. I’m sure this has been done before but that doesn’t make it any better. Terrible affair.

I thought this was a very well-made game by ubisoft. The amount of detail in all the aspects were really quite cool. One should get it and try it oneself. Delight in.
