City management games are perhaps one of more complex genres out there. Not only do you have the do the right layouts for your cities, but you've got other aspects to care about such as resources, and in some cases even the military. I did play the obvious ones like Simcity and Tropico, but found myself too intimidated by something like the Anno series. This is actually part of the Anno series. It's called Anno 1404, but is otherwise called Dawn of Discovery in North America. The wii version is completely different which I'm sure you could tell immediately by the cartoonish graphics. I will say this straight off the bat that this is a fantastic entry for beginners of the genre. But, is this game still worth it? Stay tuned to find out.
