Anno 2070 Review (PC) – Gameolio.com

"When asked if I would review Anno 2070 I was intrigued: I’d heard quite a lot about the previous games in the series, all of which were positive. Yet despite being a long-time fan of the strategy genre, I had never bothered to pick them up. While I could appreciate and feel the tug of the (before now) historical setting, they seemed an overly complicated supply-and-demand game that threatened tedium along a ‘get X, make Y out of it, to make Z’ hamster wheel. Where are the explosions? Why aren’t I rolling tanks over those hills and conquering my foes? Part of this is certainly the crush-your-enemies-to-win-is-t he-goal oriented approach of most contemporary RTSs. Yet Anno 2070, like its predecessors, does not conform to this paradigm, instead opting for an approach that takes me back to my early Sim City days. I had forgotten just how much fun it could be to build a city and work the citizens towards a specific goal…one that didn’t involve churning out explosive arsenal."
