Review of game

This is a nice little Hidden Gem for the Wii I don't know if they made it for other systems in Dawn of Discovery the king is in Desperate trouble these people are starving and you as one of his sons has to go out and find new islands to inhabit grow the population produce food, medicine, building materials and other objects to not only feed the starving people but to create a dynasty. They'll be all sorts of other Adventures along the way but I'll let you discover that the game has two modes story mode and continuous mode so this gives the game a great deal of replay. The graphics aren't bad bye Wii standards it's surprisingly easy to start building the controls are simple to learn but that doesn't mean the game is simple even if you set it at the easy level of difficulty it can be very tricky you just can't start plopping down houses are wheat fields each island can only do so much. For example some islands are good at producing hemp for clothes what other Islands will not be good for that and so on therefore as the game progresses you're going to have to plan out your strategy when you start to inhabit more than one Island any other problems will step up along the way they're going to want a civilization which means they're going to want a church eventually other things will become available to you like hospitals, fire stations and so on as you go through story mode you will eventually unlock these things but your island has to get past a certain point in development for these things to be unlocked. In story mode you will be graded on how good you do and how much time it takes you to complete that chapter, discoveries you can go treasure hunting you'll eventually have to build up a military there are pirate ships and if your Expedition ship touches one of those it automatically sinks but eventually you can build up battleships there's really a ton to do in this game much too much for me to explain in this review other than to say as far as I'm concerned I would highly recommend this it's a nice change from your typical first person shooter something like that if you're looking for something different this should do the trick

Best game I've played in years

So, I'm not a "gamer" but I have a Wii and I do occasionally need a mindless activity that isn't watching TV. I don't do sports games, military games, or fantasy fighting games. This limits my choices a bit. I have been looking for a replacement for the Harvest Mood RPG series, and this is it! It's like Sim-City: You have to build the civilization and keep your people happy by giving them what they want (pottery, fruit, public ulitities). There's a story that propels the game, but you can also just free play. There are three difficulty levels so kids and adults can play. I have really, really enjoyed this over the past week or so, spending more time playing it than a grown-up with a full time job should. It's gender neutral. It requires creativity and strategy. Great game.

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2013

I own both the PC version of Dawn of Discovery (also called "Anno 1404") and the Wii version now. There are distinct differences between the two, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses that are completely unique.

In this game, there are two options for play. In one, free play, you can build however you wish and everything's open to you. In the other, you go through a questline that gives you various missions to complete as you play a young, handsome prince developing islands for his father and facing antagonism from his older, more cynical, possibly treacherous brother.

The dynamics of raising population and meeting the population's needs is pretty similar to the PC version, though simplified, as one might expect. You lay down houses and get resources to your citizens; they in turn advance their huts to bigger and grander houses and want different and more complex resources and resource buildings. The more citizens you have, the more money in taxes you get, but the more difficult it can be to meet their various demands. You explore the world in your little ships and find islands that can provide resources and room for more citizens. One major strength the Wii version has over the PC version is that resources are pooled between all your islands, so most of the hassle of making resource-chains and supply-routes is eliminated entirely. If you make spices in one island, ALL your islands get access to it. It's terribly convenient and a welcome change. You also can buy "treasure maps" to explore the seas and find buried treasure, which tends to be resource-based, like "10 tons of tunics" and the like. Specialist NPCs roam the seas as well, and by completing their mini-quests, they can be persuaded to come settle your islands to provide further benefits (my favorite is the NPC that extends rat-catching services to your islanders). Oh, and pirates also lurk the seas and will be happy to divest you of the treasure you just found.

The quests are generally easy to understand and complete. After you finish a mission in the quest, you get a scorecard and then you can start the next. The game doesn't tell you what the purpose of the report card might be, nor how to accomplish each mission with a A+ report card, and I didn't notice a way to go back and replay a mission. In the same way that you generate "honor" in the PC version of the game, you generate honor points here that you may use to buy advancements and benefits for your game, such as the ability to build noria, or irrigation systems, or a way to make your houses advance faster. I found the quest cute but ultimately not too interesting and made my way to the free play part of the game, which I found to be a lot more stimulating. After setting up how you want the free play game to work, how big you want the islands to be, etc., you can start anywhere you wish and have fun.

If anything, my main criticism of the game is that it does seem a bit repetitive; once you figure out the supply/demand dynamics, it's not as challenging. I also really wish the islands were bigger. Whatever happened to continents?

The game has absolutely lovely graphics, non-irritating music, and a great level of detail. The gameplay itself is smooth and easy to learn, gracefully translating what could be really complicated concepts into a solid experience. Obviously there's nothing in the game that should offend parents or children, and the game seems like one that even elementary-aged kids could learn and enjoy. It's not that hard to get up to speed on it, and once you get the hang of it, it's not that hard to get decent at, but it takes time to get the hang of it and get really good at maxing out citizens and keeping them happy. Plus, it sounds like the same voice actors from the PC game returned for the Wii game, and it was cool to hear them again--like hearing the voices of old friends.

I'm not sure that die-hard fans of the PC game would be totally into this, as it's so simplified, but it's a neat change of pace and probably a lot better for kids as it's, well, simplified so much. I got it because my husband doesn't let me play on his PC as much as I'd like and sometimes a girl just wants her Anno fix, and this nicely satisfies that itch.

Fantastic game, I remember playing for hours with my daughter. Fond memories. A much better choice of game and activity in general. It prompts the player to be organized, to plan, and to budget. A ton of fun economic, town planning, and logistics for kids. And there are pirates too!

I enjoy this game. I like building up the little islands and keeping everything balanced. The game isn't glitchy or slow. It does have a cut scene after every level that isn't overly exciting, but it does give you the option to skip it. You won't be lost as to what your next mission is if you do skip. It gives you the option to play in easy, medium or hard. It could only get better for me if I had a better tv, where you do need to be able to see what your ordering and what you have available to build with. The wii is hooked up to the old 480 tube tv in the basement. I think it is time to upgrade that.
