Summary: The administrative strategy game.
Review: In Majesty your only means of influence is by spending gold. You spend it by paying peasants to build guild halls and temples, hiring heros at those new buildings, and putting bounties on the heads of major monsters and their lairs. You get money from your tax collectors, as they travel your town and hopefully don't get killed by Ratmen and Trolls.The included missions are mostly a fun bunch, with a few VERY tough ones in there, and you can design your own if you tire of those. Multiplayer is interesting, if not cross-platform. You can cooperate against major monsters, compete to raise gold faster, or even play "Last Castle Standing", though my one game of that with my brother lasted over 4 hours! In the end, I think it was our choice of heroes that decided it, rather than our tactical skills.

Summary: great game
Review: Lots of fun - a cross between dungeons and dragons and sim city, with a little age of empires thrown in - nice graphics and music, and good gameplay - suitable for older children and adults alike. Highly recommended

Summary: How to Relax During the Lunch Hour
Review: Majesty for the Mac (and also for the PC) is a major league addictive recreation and time sink in our household (and both my wife and I are old enough to know better). Consequently, we've had to limit our playing to lunchtime, evenings, and/or weekends, or we won't get anything done. This strategy game combines some of the more enjoyable aspects of Sim City and various fantasy role-playing games. You are the monarch of a small kingdom, facing a variety of challenges from the simple to extremely difficult (depending upon scenario). Your job is to survive and win; the catch is that not all of your subjects understand the task at hand (nor are they always up for the challenge); and the various monsters and "creatures of the night" are doing their best to destroy both your kingdom and you. (It can be very disheartening to watch your castle being destroyed by a wave of fire-breathing dragons - found in one of the more challenging scenarios - while your various heroes, who are your main defenders, are off chasing minor monsters.) On the other hand, if you chose a scenario where the odds are in your favor, then you can easily take out your frustrations with the everyday world in a burst of heroic leadership in less than an hour's time. The graphics are good, but not gory; so the faint-of-stomach (or with mothers who are) shouldn't worry about seeing excessive violence (I've seen worse in made-for-television movies). Majesty requires you to chose between supporting "good", or orderly, clerics and "evil", or chaotic, ones, depending upon scenario. (Both, however, can give you a victory.) How much magic is necessary to use also varies with scenario (magic-users can be critical to your victory or merely a distraction). For people who want gender equality or support political correctness based on gender, it is also worth noting that half of both the stronger fighters, and clerics (of both alignments), are female. (The monsters occur in both sexes, too.) At the higher level, a good deal of puzzle-solving is required; but at the intermediate level, it's mainly just-plain-fun "monster-bashing" (and as long as you exercise a minimum of caution, generally a victory over the "forces-of-evil"). The basic level scenarios are primarily a way of teaching you the finer points of the game (a very useful feature) as is the manual, though unfortunately the latter is not perfectly clear (I had to get my adult son, who owns a PC version of the game, to explain some of the details before being able to master the game). Barring that one problem, I have nothing but praise for both the game and the quality of its design; I haven't had this much fun with a fantasy-based computer game since I played Wizardry.

Summary: great game
Review: This game requires no skill or strategy. If you can train your dog to hit the "return" key every two minutes or so it's enough to move the game along. A small step above watching television but far less captivating.

Summary: fun for a little while.
Review: This game was very novel, you don't have direct control over you units and you have to use other methods to motivate them (such as bribes). Eventually the novelty wears off and it gets a little boring to not be able to just take control in certain situations. Basically, you should buy this game if you want to have fun with it for a week or so (it is cheaper then a dvd, so it pays in comparison). Don't expect very much long term intrest in it though.

Summary: Great Game!
Review: This is a great game. If you like sim city or the sims you'll probably like this. You have different quests where you explore land and fight evil creatures. Guys would love it but YOU are playing the Majesty so obviously its cool for girls too!
