complicated and limited

I bought this games after being a massive fan of the books, and playing many games (such as Age of Empires, Total War series, DDO, Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2, the list goes on), and was eager to get it. When I started and went through all the tutorials I was sorely disapointed. The user interface is really coplicated and there are so many little pointless things to remember that I never even had the heart to give it a good go. It's essetially laid out like a Risk board with different segments to own which makes it really fragmented and limited in my mid. I was hopeing for somethign like age of empires where the 'board' is free flowing, and or even the Total War games where it's just massive. But this has literally 8 or so squares, and you try to capture them all. Also the armies are tiny, a unit consits of four guys, not impressive in any way.

This is a truely terrible game and would not compare favourably to 1997 release Lord's of Magic. Terrible graphics which require a powerfull machine to play, lack of depth in the story and unit content coupled with a myriad of faction's which are basically the same with a different coloured flag.

Add to this that the game is almost unplayable out of the box because of graphics bug's and slow scrolled speed (which cannot easily be adjusted) and you realy should not waste your money. A huge disapointment.

I meant to write this review when this first came out to alert people of how seriously bad this game is!
I never complain about games, as even if they are bad I can find some kind of enjoyment from them. Not so here! Infuriatingly annoying gameplay, bad graphics and just not a fun game at all. Horrible!
A Game Of Thrones deserves a quality strategy game and hopefully one day it will have one. But do yourself a favour and avoid this. Buy the books!

Just Annoying

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 October 2011

I'm a massive fan of the books so thought this game would help me understand the positions of the lesser towns/castles in Westeros, but no, they all look the same and are generically named just Town or Castle, the Lord of each faction has the same Avatar, the banners of each unit are too small that even when zoomed in its an effort to figure out which house they belong to. The micromanagement is just annoying, you constantly have to keep looking at each dull town to make sure no envoys are taking it from your control. Just doesn't capture the imagination, it's like a very early Settlers game set on a poor Westeros map. They had a few promising ideas with spies and other minor things but they failed to implement them well. I was hoping for a game where you could recruit knights to your cause from each castle, with their own traits and soldiers, sort of like The Lords of Midnight and Doomdarks Revenge, classic Spectrum games from the past that would fit more with the political intrigue of GoT, but no, here you just buy as many generic knights as you can afford which equals BORING. Save your money and wait for Stronghold 3 which looks much more promising.

Don't buy this rubbish

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 October 2011

I completely agree with the other reviewers who note how dated and shoddy "Game of Thrones: Genesis" is. George RR Martin famously writes his novels using Wordstar 4.0 on MS DOS... this game is only slightly more up-to-date than that. The developers, "Cyanide Studio" are aptly named as this product is about as appealing as a cup of poison.
