5.0 out of 5 stars What Zeus was for Greece, Poseidon is for Atlantis, August 10, 2001

By	J. Collins (Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Poseidon is the expansion for the game Zeus, city-building in ancient Greece. New gods, monsters and heros, plus an "Atlantean" slant on the game, keep it fresh and interesting. Also, there are new adventures for Greek cities. The basic premise hasn't changed: one builds the city/colony to achieve the victory conditions in the episode. The Episodes tie together and link to each other in the adventure. The Atlantean twists are replacing the "Cultural" enchancements of the Greek city-states with "Science"-as Atlanteans prized knowledge and learning according to myth. Additional aesthethic improvements are available (as well as to the Greek adventures). Some minor bugs in the game system have been fixed; also now one may halt construction of any major building. Additionally the details about construction are much more useful than before. Speaking of bugs, I can't really think of any in Poseidon-a tribute to the team that built the program. If you enjoyed Zeus, you will really like the additional features in the enchancement.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's awesome-and don't pay attention to "a gamer", November 3, 2001

By	"nbsrno1" (IL, USA) - See all my reviews

"A gamer" claimed that Posiedon is not that great. Well, he or she is dead wrong. It is way better than Cleopatra(the expansion of Pharoah). With 2 new gods, 4 new monsters, and another 2 heroes added to the list, this is so cool. Also, there are new industries and many new beutification structures, including the pyramid. And there are dozens of new adventures, and new types of cities. This altogether is one heck of a good game. This is a must buy for any gamer. BTW, check out my review of Shine...the hits in the music section.(STH is by Newsboys)

5.0 out of 5 stars Expansion pack for the best ancient city-building game out there, February 28, 2007

By	Andariel Halo "Disillusioned Smark" (Phenomynouss@hotmail etc is my e-mail) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

Not much changes in this expansion from the original, but it adds a vast amount of new content, buildings, and a totally new race to play as---the Atlanteans. Despite their similarities to the Greeks, they are vastly different. A new array of Gods are available for both sides, and new heroes.

The new campaigns are just as fun as the original, and some even expand into a fantastic realm in which Atlantis expands into strange lands and encountering indigenous peoples called "Mayas", and introducing their own culture and architecture (such as Steppe Pyramids, etc) to these primitives.

Great expansion pack. Must buy.
