Rating:  - Imperialism 2
IMPERIALISM 2 is an extremly flexible turn-based strategy game which allows one to set up an almost infinite variety of scenarios. One may begin as a "great power" on an isolated island, or as a "great power" surrounded by neutral nations or surrounded by any number of other great powers. Conquest can be by trade/dipolomacy or by outright military conquest, or by any combination thereof. Battles can be "automatic" or managed manually. It is a great way to teach resource management and short-term ... Read More
Rating: - How old is this game now?
I remember playing this game 5 to 7 years ago. I still have it stashed in my game box and after noticing it here, I am going to have to break it out and install it on my new computer. Oh the graphics are dated, but the game play is damn good!

The game is a kind of distant cousin to the Civilization series. You send out explorers, build builders and military units, research new technologies, declare war and use diplomacy and trade to expand your empire, and so on. In many ways I think it is better ... Read More
Rating:  - Might be best of its genre.
What is great about this game is balance. One word that could describe Imperialism II is "elegant." The player must constantly be planning ahead and balancing numerous policy objectives in order to avoid being overtaken by the computerized players. If you ever believe that going with the status quo is the best move for a turn, then you are in big trouble. The game develops slowly, but change is constant and unstoppable.
Contrary to the assertion of a previous critic, there are many paths ... Read More
