This is a great RTS game with a more elaborate city building element than can be found in most games in the same genre. I loved playing AoE but always felt the colony aspect was lacking. Settlers seems to be more focused around building a solid foundation for your people, your town, and then working up to a great army. I haven't dabbled much in the campaigns as I prefer to build up the town rather than have the objective to go and defeat the neighboring peoples. But occasionally I'll have my men wander out to small bandit camps and take them over. Those battles seem fairly easy if your city reputation is high but I can't say much for any other battles. Also, the graphics really impressed me! The townsfolk are really detailed, the scenery is beautiful and the animals meandering the forests and rivers edge are a nice touch. ;] I love to watch the people in the city bebop around, chatting with neighboring shop owners, going to the butcher to pick up some food, or finding themselves a wife at the festival. I love the game and would recommend it for most ages, especially since you don't have to play campaigns and the young ones can have fun building a city!Read full review
This is not your commodore 64 or pc settlers3 of years ago. This is a completely new version with a much better storyline, while retaining the charm of the original. All of the quests are challenging, but you don't need cheats if you have half a brain. Graphics are great! Only one thing keeps me from giving it an excellent rating is the fact that it is rated for XP at 128mb video memory. It doesn't do the graphics very well on my HP desktop with 128 video memory. But it works great on my wife's HP laptop with Vista and 256mb video memory. Go figure.
I am amazed, once again Blue Byte has out done themselves. I am a settlers fan and hav been since the release of Settlers 1. I like the new structure of this game. You have more control and it is more realistic then settlers herrtage of kings. You have to feed and clothe your people and they won't eat raw meat. Which makes the whole thing more realistic. The graphics are amazing and Blue byte has out done themselves. I was impressed with the last settlers game that was released (H.O.K)but if you want an amazingly beatiful game then this is for you. I have not finished it yet but I'm hooked just like I was with the others. I can't really say I dislike anything, maybe this is because I am bias as I love all the settlers games and have even been know to dig out settlers 2 and give it a bash even still now.... If you want a strategic game with deph of detail and hours of game play this is for you. The updated graphics and friendly game play make it a game your play forever..I recomend it to all god sim lovers... Kay LaurenceRead full review

This game is really simple to understand. Not overly complicated and allows any age of player to enjoy it. Unlike Command and Conquer style strategy games, Settlers allows for more freedom and choices than just giving you a basic layout of the game to play. I played the crap out of this game and although the ending was pretty lame (dont get your hopes up for a thrilling Royal Exit) I think the rest of the game (especially the movies) were pretty cool!
