Just a great game. I've played in recent years only a few games that could inspire me so. The game is extremely fun, and for me, who has played only the first (1602) of the predecessors to date, easily accessible - certainly find complete Anno newbies a quick entry. For me Anno is so great, because it's a really great after-work game where one hand can relax well, but that still is interesting and offers challenges. The graphics are beautiful, especially the Postcard Mode is super, to get lost in the beautifully designed details. The music and sounds are really good and the German actors did a good job. Very convenient: you can make the game even without the DVD in the drive to play (probably since the patch, with the daily copy has been removed). Conclusion: strong buy recommendation!
