Grand Ages Rome has beautiful graphics, a fitting soundtrack, and a good campaign, but there are some pretty big problems too. Price is a tad bit high though it should be lowered to 30$ in the US. Overall its a good game any city-building fanatic should try, Not the best but certainly the best thing for this specific time period and settings so far. Overall its a great game with good graphics, in-depth storyline, decent multiplayer when it first came out ( as said before somewhat dead now ), and a half decent combat system although outdated still offers some strategy and offers a good spectacle to watch when you play a 2v2 and each sides has a good amount of units. Having more playable factions should be their next step when they either make an expansion for this game or create Grand Ages 2. The only way to get a match is to auto find one which makes getting to play certain maps and match types impossible. The multiplayer from what I have seen has died off fairly fast. But the missions themselves are the same. you could say it has it because of the fact you can choose a different family to play as. the thing this game lacks is re playability. you could say it has it because of the fact you can choose a different family to I would say 8.5. Definitely recommend trying it out if you enjoyed Tropico, however. Shame is, most people who would like this game are going to miss out because of a) bad reviews and b) an idiot publisher that marketed it as a 4x game and not a city-builder. You guys get paid to sell your own pathetic opinion, but truth is, in the eyes of a Simulation and City-Building game fan, this game is one of the greatest things to be released in the last five years. But you reviewers probably play the game for an hour at most and think you can somehow learn all the little nuances a game has in that time? Keep dreaming. You can build poor neighborhoods, rich neighborhoods, mixed neighborhoods, and every kind of neighborhood has its own rewards and challenges to maintaining a high level of satisfaction. Grand Ages: Rome is WAY deeper than that. My experience with the "just another city building game" is carelessly throwing down a building wherever you have room. yeah, because so many city building games have a focus on actually planning out neighborhoods via small AoE radii. People who say this is "just another city building game". This game does a truly amazing job at re-creating the Roman Empire, at least visually. What an outcry! I can daydream for hours at the highly detailed art. No longer are city building games confined to the graphics of the past, yet apparently no one is familiar with this game, unlike say, the Caesar series. I've now spent more time playing Imperium Romanum and Grand Ages: Rome than the Tropico series. When I found out the Tropico devs (Haemimont Games) had made a couple of similar games set in Roman times, I was intrigued.
