Comment
Populous was created by grandmaster Peter Molyneux. But he left Bullforg before this game was made. The question is: was Bullfrog able to recreate the magic of the populous games in it's third installment without it's idealizer?
Fortunately, the answer is yes. They did a great job, and completely remade the series. Gone in the simple top-down view of the previews games. Now, it's a virtually fully scalable 3D world that can be miraculously terraformed just like the old days, but with infinitely better graphics and effects.
A great game, extremely recommend to any strategy game player.
