Advantages: Good graphics, great storyline and playability!!! Disadvantages: Need a decent computer to play it on!
Majesty!! The game with a difference. For all of those wargaming and role playing junkies this game is a must, but the beauty of this game is that it crosses the bigger divide and should appeal to the general public as well.
The basic premise of the game is very simple. Play king by collecting taxes, building guilds to attract heroes, elves, gnomes and wizards. Evade the monsters, then solve the quest and be celebrated as the big cheese! Unlike most of this genre, Majesty does not give you direct control over your subjects. Instead, it takes after the type of gameplay in such classics as SimCity, Caesar, Zeus or even the Sims and applies the medieval/fantasy storyline towards it. Indeed the background tapestry is very rich!!! For example you'll find it difficut to recruit elves to your kingdom, if you've had to resort to building ...

Briefly, our hero starts the film by rescuing a gorgeous Diana Rigg (playing the Countess Tracy di Vincenzo) from a suicide ...
Advantages: Loads! Disadvantages: None that I can think of
Anyone familiar with games such as Warcraft will probably like Majesty. As with many games of this type, there are mainly two aspects to the game - generating revenue to build a stronger force and fighting. The generating revenue part of the game is very similar to many other games. However, where Majesty differs from other games is the fighting. Unlike Warcraft you cannot directly order any of your troops to attack the opponent. To persuade your troops to attack you must issue bounty rewards. The higher the reward, the more troops will attack. This difference in gameplay adds another element to the game as issueing bounty rewards is expensive, but the gains from attacking targets may reveal enough gold to make it worthwhile. This is a game with a difference. ...
