Iv'e played 1503 and 1701, don't know how good this one will be, though.

[The Librarian]

I read a very enthusiastic review about it in PCGameplay, who stated it's the best game in the genre at the moment. Looks very intruiging, too bad the demo is 1,7 gb. But I'm gonna download it anyway, it looks awesome.

[Celsius]

1701 was pretty good. I may give this one a try.

[Nole4694]

I had 1701 I think, but I didnt really get how to play it... hah, so im intrigued but wary of this one, is there a sharp learning curve?

[Orko]

It took me a year only to learn how 1503 works, and half a year to learn how to play properly. Though the end was worth it. I liked 1701 better, though. It was more in depth, and less plain and boring.

[~Beren~]

I simply love the Anno series.

I'm definitely going to buy this when I have the money to do so

[Mangerman]

I am definitely going to get it soon. I have played Anno games since Anno 1503, and from the demo this one is looking very good.

[The Edain]

Never tried the Anno series before, but i ordered this one earlier today, it looks interesting so i thought i'd like it as its my kinda game

[Renegen]

I tried the 1st Anno, didn't like the economic model and I didn't like the island concept. But it's nice to see a successful citybuilder.

[Carach]

i remember watching my mate play the first anno game years and years ago and i thought it was amazing.

having played the demo of the latest one i really want to buy it, but 35 quid on Steam?! godamn these are recession times! i cant pay that
May have to wait till the 26th for my birthday (lol..a man in his 20s finally has some presents to demand from his family..and theyre pc games...but godamn it thats the way its gonna be!)

[The Edain]

Got it today it kicks ass! Although i've spent to long on it today haha! but i've just been messin around with it at the moment just to get a feel for it and get to know the mechanics really well before i do any serious playing

[Mangerman]

I am going to get the Collectors Edition tomorrow... if the shop still has it, that is.

[The Librarian]

I can confirm that the box is made of wood and the compass seems to be working too.
