Populous: The Beginning

Summary: The Best Game Ever!
Review: I recieved this game as a Christmas gift, and I instantly became addicted to it. While there are a few glitches in the multiplayer, the graphics and response time are amazing! After I finished all 25 levels I wanted more! I could easily spend many hours playing this game, and if I ever got tired of it, I'd just download Undiscovered Worlds. The best part about it is the multiplayer. It's alot of fun to play real people over the internet, and there are so many sites with helpful hints, so many strategies. It's a very challenging game, and it never gets old!

Review: I think this is a great game for all of you people that like
playing action/strategy games. this game gives you some tough competition and can get REALLY hard. its fun mucing around with all of the spells and different units. the landscape in this game is amazing. I think if you wanted to get it i would look for a lower than £14 deal coz then you are deffinenally getting your moneys worth. i think this is a great game.

Summary: A great classic!
Review: If you find some screenshots for this game, read a few reviews dated somewhere around '98, and look at the price tag - you may become convinced that the game is too old to be any fun. WRONG! This game is one of the most fun I've ever played!
I'm usually obsessive when it comes to the graphics of a game. I observe the texture and shading of every on-screen polygon. But when it comes to Populous, I discovered that despite having dated graphics, it was incredibly fun!
You play a Shaman who has to work her way from world to world, defeating the enemy tribes that she may find. For those who like strategy, you can lead your braves and warriors into battle. For those who want magic, your Shaman has spells she can use. For those who are smart, combine both for the ultimate war game!
And this is just the minute tip of the iceberg! The game has all sorts of clever features, like being able to train priests who can convert members of any of the enemy Shamans' tribe (yes, there are multiple tribes, which adds excitement as they can battle amongst themselves as well) to your tribe.
Anyway, I've probably been rambling senselessly here, but I guess I just can't recommend this game enough. Buy it!

Summary: I love this game
Review: My huband bought the demo several years ago, and I became addicted. When we bought the full game, and it got broken, we bought another one, we even bought one for my sisters in law. This game is fun, we have never had a problem with it. I especially like the fact that the Shaman is a woman and she can kick butt! The spells are fun, but some take a while to charge.
Have fun!

Summary: Pretty good stuff.
Review: O.K., so maybe it's not the best game around. But it certainly worth the few dollars it costs these days (the intro movie alone's pretty cool). Become the shaman of your tribe and build, magic and war your tribe unto total dominance. Hey it kept me ocupied, for a hundred hrs or so.

Summary: Great game w/ some problems. . .
Review: Ok, I love this game. It's one of those "what time is it" games that keeps you up until 3:30 in the morning. I really like the feel of the planets you work on. It's actually a small globe with horizons that curve. The twist, scroll, and zoom control kinda reminds me of Dungeon Keeper (that's a good thing). It feels like the landscape is a piece of paper you can twist or rotate to any angle you want. I only have one problem. I get my characters confused with the opposing guys quite often. This is due to the fact that your people are colored blue and cyan, and the enemies are cyan and light yellow, making it quite difficult to control dozens of little cyanish blobs during battle. But other than that, It's great!

Summary: Definatly not for those who like to be God
Review: Okay I only got to play this game in a Demo, but I totally fell in love with it. (I was particularly partial to setting enemy tribespeople on fire, and yes you can do that) But What I really liked about this game is that it had a bit of realism to it. I mean the shaman (the player character) did not have unlimited power, so if you want set someone on fire you have to at least be in eyeshot of them. Now I know that that may seem tedious and stupid, but really for those who get tired of being 'God' in games this is a good alternative. The buildings don't take long to build, the people multiply quickly, and worshiping totems makes sense considering most ancient cultures did. I know there aren't many bad reviews, but I am just this game has awesome graphic, realistic powers, and you get to set people on fire. It can't be THAT bad.
