Gameplay

41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The mechanics of this game are fairly solid outside of a clunky UI, but you'll realize something rather quickly - everything this game has to offer you can experience in the first few scenarios.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game comes [highly recommended] for someone who wants to spend countless hours vicariously lost in the intriguing lifestyles and beliefs of the enduring, mysterious Ancient Egyptian people.. and in stunning graphics with an intuitive, giving camera/guidance system.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's slightly more complex than the Egyptian city builder of the previous millennium, but just as much fun and if anything, even more rewarding due to the increased difficulty.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design still holds up at least, with plenty of quaint sound effects and little dialogue quips from your citizens.
