5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent City-Building Simulation, December 7, 2001

By 

Paul Cerra - See all my reviews

This review is from: Acropolis (CD-ROM)

Acropolis is a compilation product that includes both Zeus and the Poseidon "expansion pack" for Zeus. These "City Building Simulations" allow you to build your own mythical Greek city from the ground up. If you are trying to decide between the Zeus or Pharaoh series, Acropolis makes the decision easy for you. Pharaoh (and its expansion pack, Cleopatra) is a harder series than Zeus, requiring more micromanagement, more attention to detail, and more patience. Zeus, by contrast, is a more forgiving game. It's a lot easier to just jump right in and build a city. Roadblocks work better than ever before and your citizens aren't quite as stupid as they were in Pharaoh or especially in the Caesar series. And Zeus, for all its graphic beauty, should run quite well on slower computers (i.e. even some Pentium II systems) as well as today's faster PCs. Acropolis is quite a lot of entertainment for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Th Acropolis Pack, or just Zeus, is the best game ever!, March 5, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Acropolis (CD-ROM)

Acropolis is the best game ever. You could just by Zeus first and then get Poseidon, but I reccomend the the Acropolis Pack because it includes the two games and it is a lot cheaper then buying the two seprately... Anyways let me get down to the review which will start in the next paragraph.
The game is addicting and makes you want to keep playing for hours on end... The graphics are pretty good and the sound is okay, but the gameplay is excedingly good. It is pretty much a Sim City combined withe Ages of Empires. I recommend this pack to anyone who loves Greek mythology; it is loaded with it. I won't tell you anything about the levels because you will have to find ou about that youreself, but I will tell you will probably being hereing more f me in the future. Thank you, good night!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Worth the Price., January 21, 2002

A Gal (India) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Acropolis (CD-ROM)

Not only does Acropolis include two games in one-Zeus: Master of Olympus and Zeus: Poseidon. It also includes Extras like the playable demo of Pharaoh and other goodies. This is a very addictive game, sure to keep u playing for hours at end. And with all those extras offered this is definitely worth buying. Pick this one up.
