Play god once more with
Master of Atlantis--Poseidon the official expansion pack to
Master of Olympus. As before you play God in every sense of the word, and this time the gameplay takes you to the fabled city of Atlantis.
The original Master of Olympus was a cross between serious city building à la SimCity with the tactical strategy elements of Age of Empires and this expansion follows in the same vein offering 45 new episodes across six new epic campaigns.
The game has also introduced new civilisations to trade with such as Mayans, Egyptians and Assyrians as well as new buildings to fit in with the Atlantis landscape and introduces the added benefit of now being able to raise cattle and cultivate your orange trees to feed your population.
Whilst the chance to summon Bellerophon to battle the Chimera may appeal to a limited few, it shouldn't stop you playing what is basically a SimCity set in ancient times. This is a well-balanced add-on that introduces new elements to what is already a great game, and with the addition of a mission and campaign editor, this is surely going to offer you endless levels at your request. --Jason Denwood
