Cossacks Anthology

Customer Rating:
Summary: CANNOT PLAY
Comment: This is essentially the same review that I left for American Conquest Anthology. I installed this game with no problems, but it will not run on my computer. I have a brand new laptop (Intel Core2Duo 2.2GZ processor, Nvidia Geforce 8600GT video card, 120GB hard drive, Windows XP Media Center). I am playing Doom 3 with no problems, so it must be a problem with this game (and American Conquest Anthology). Is it a concidence that they are both packaged by the same company, in a generic red and clear package? I don't know, but I DO know that neither of these games will run on my new laptop. It closes with an .exe error message. Totally ridiculous. I will stay away from no-name companies and non-mainstream games from now on.

Overall = TERRIBLE

Summary: One of my favorites
Comment: there are quite a few games to choose from right now, but Cossacks are still worth money.
I like the fact that this is the game that is historically accurate, has good graphics, and allows to create plenty of units.
I used to like Age of Empires II (I know it's old), but that game had only 200 or so units. Cossacks, on the other hand, allow you to create thousands of units. When playing online, it's also great.
I know this game is getting old, but it is still a good option if you like strategy games.

Summary: Worth the Money
Comment: This is a good value. While Cossacks is no Age of Empires, it is a fun game to play. If you are someone who goes for total realism, this game may not be for you. Most of the time, I found the best strategy is to just mass produce units and thrown them at the enemy in swarms. Still there is something addictive about the gameplay, and I found myself up to the wee hours of the morning finishing differant levels. Average graphics, decent storyline, and wild battles make this worth the purchase. If you enjoy this, they have released Cossacks II and American Conquest.

Summary: Great game, Great value
Comment: I've played the demo and decided to buy this anthology pack, which comes with the 3 interesting series of cossacks.
If you are into large military battles of 17c 18c European wars, look no further. This anthology editition is ideal and economic choice and offers plenty of multiplayability.

One downside is the sound gets kinda dull after a while and music tracks are great in the beginning but get kinda boring after that so I just turn the music off.

Overall, great game, great value, to keep as collection.
