recieved the product just fine...the game itself has no paper or in game guide manual and is not user friendly to navigate... it could have been easier to learn and play.....

The game itself I like and have always enjoyed the Anno series. However, this one drives DRM madness to a whole new level. I spent 3 hours trying to get the game to work. The 3 stars doesn't reflect gameplay, only the technical side of things. The game itself deserves 4 stars.

Anno 2070 is a polished management sim with some innovative ideas, but it doesn't push them far enough.

From there the series jumped around history using 100 years intervals, tackling ever more complex historical eras, allowing the developers to add more mechanics to the game and to change the art style and even managed to make a move to the handheld space.

+ Great gameplay; + Solid graphics; + Different factions

- Pacing issues; - Somewhat tired formula

The world has seen the last of the polar ice caps, global warming has raised the sea-level by a few meters and the world map looks completely different. Huge corporations have taken over the world and everything has been reduced to a race for making the biggest buck.

Games Xtreme takes a look at Anno 2070 in our first review of 2012.

Moving the venerable real-time strategy series out of the past represents a big risk for Ubisoft, but they've managed to make the transition without any major hiccups.

Wonderfully complicated, detailed world; Nice split between factions allows diverse gameplay; Compelling characters with enjoyable narratives.

GUI leaves a bit to be desired; Campaign mode is a bit lacklustre once again, with too many fetch missions; The visual overhaul to the theme lacks originality found with previous Anno titles

The Anno series has become a self-propelled juggernaut in the strategy world, with very few critics and fans having bad words to say about it. From the early "Anno 1602" to this new, contemporary offering we have seen the series grow in content, innovation and reputation.

Visuals; Sounds; Gameplay

Combat; Campaign

Superb: A hallmark of excellence. There may be flaws, but they are negligible and won't cause massive damage to what is a supreme title.
