Summary: Great!
Review: I am Matthew and I am eight years old. (My mom is typing this for me.) Zeus is so great that even my dad wants to buy it to use it to teach to his class because it is so realistic. What else? All my friends love it, even two twins that are my friends are actually buying it because they played it at my house. I especially like it that if you don't build maintenance houses your buildings will burn down or collapse. And that every time you build a temple to a god, it has its own benefits. I recommend it to everyone who loves the Sims (and Greek mythology). I have already bought Posiedon, Pharoah, and Caesar III and can't wait to play them.

Summary: Good but not excellent
Review: When I first got Zeus Master of Olympus I actually enjoyed it. I have always loved the concept of city building games and Zeus was no exception. The game has nice graphics and is very fun in terms of building and maintaining your own city the way you like it. The only thing about this game that dissapointed me was the lack of gameplay options and choices for buildings, landscape, etc. It would have been a plus to add a map editor with diverse terain and much more structures to build along with more game options and more missions. The game got boring within a week after I completed the missions and noticed that I was sleeping more oftenly on my desktop. All around I consider the game to be a favorite classic of mine that I have kep't on my computer despite it's problems. It is nice game to play every once in a while. If your going to play long hours after purchasing this game I recommend that you don't slouch on your seat or put your face to close to the monitor while constant playing. I did that before and got the worst head ache you could ever imagine!

Summary: Great, great game, but I recommend Acropolis
Review: Zeus is my favorite game. The only thing I would recommend is buying Acropolis instead. If you buy that now, you'll save a lot of money, because you'll definitely want to get the expansion: Poseidon later.

Summary: An Absorbing Game
Review: I had previously purchased Caesar and Pharaoh/Cleopatra games put out by Sierra, so I was expecting much the same with Zeus. I was in for a surprise. Although the game has a similar software engine playing the game is much different. In Caesar and Pharaoh, one had to satisfy population, culture and prosperity levels before winning the game and moving on to the next scenario. Usually, my level of prosperity never got high enough to win and I would get bored. The solution was to use the cheats to go to the next level.

Happily, with Zeus this has changed. Each game has several different goals that you can win without spending months attempting to fulfill. For example, in order to summon the hero Jason to kill Thalos, one needs a required number of horses, food and wine. The goals can be reached without protracted effort so you will not wait and wait for Jason to show up.

I found Zeus much more fun that the other city building games by Sierra. Also valuable was the tutorial that allows you to walk through the scenarios and provide an idea how to better place buildings. An educational side to the game is the chance to explore Greek mythology that may spur many players to read up on these fascinating stories.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Addictive
Review: I played through all of the episodes about a year ago, and recently loaded it up again, and it's just as much fun as it was the first time! It's fascinating to watch the city grow, and click on the people and hear what they have to say! Some of their comments are hilarious.

I enjoyed this much more than other sim games I had tried, because the people had comments, and there are attainable goals to accomplish. The goals get harder as the game progresses, but they are all attainable, so there is never the frustration of not being able to finish a level. (Only sometimes the frustration of waiting for something to happen, such as a population goal.)

Summary: Gawd!
Review: I got this game 4 my birthday last year and just wow. The possibilities are endless. You can become an economic powerhouse, a military ruler or both.You battle monsters, build temples and try to be a good ruler. Its just so iddicting. I've had it for about a year and still havent beaten it yet. And I can't wait till I get the Posidon expansion pack in! 1 thing though, U might want to get the strategy guide by prima, it helps alot.

Summary: Game of the Gods...
Review: There are few games, that have held my interest, and have had a continued fascination, for me, than "Zeus: Master of Olympus". You can really escape - into the game, and unwind, from the dreary "grind", of your everyday reality. To tell the truth, I have only been able to play the demo. I understand, that the full version, will give me many more options, which will allow me to "fine-tune" the game, for my optimal pleasure. As a beginner, I look forward to adjusting the game, and start learning, with less stressful threat.
