Gamesradar reviews Great War Nations: The Spartans

Chris Holt writes:

''It was around the twelfth time my hero character casually wandered into an incoming barrage of arrows that I realized Great War Nations: The Spartans might be some kind of historical commentary on Spartans. Is the game's AI so dumb because the developers were intentionally depicting the Spartans as bumbling fools?

In Great War Nations' campaign mode, you command the armies of the Spartans or Macedonians (with the addition of Egyptians and Persians in multiplayer, if you can find an opponent). A problematic difficulty curve and lethargic pacing, accompanied by bad voice acting of a poorly translated script, make the seven missions in each campaign tedious. The first mission alone takes several hours to complete, but not because it's difficult - the most formidable enemy is boredom as you gather enough gold and lumber to raise an army.'' (Great War Nations: The Spartans, PC) 5/10
