KEY POINTS:
Pros: An engaging simulator that puts you in the shoes of a European sent to colonise islands of the Caribbean. The economics are well recreated and the 3D graphics make for lush, attractive landscapes.
Cons: Joins a genre crowded with comparable hits and doesn't quite stack up when it comes to combat sequences.
Verdict: Focuses on a fascinating chapter in the history of European colonisation and has enough realism to keep you empire-building for hours.
