Dawn of Discovery: Venice Critic Reviews

Finally there’s a multi-player mode and it’s excellent, too. There are 15 different settings for single players and much more. Whether you like to play all alone or you prefer to play with or against others, you’ll enjoy Anno 1404: Venice.

The new features like the spy and the financial takeover are perfectly integrated into the new multiplayer mode. In addition, Related Designs has implemented enormously entertaining scenarios which compensates for the missing campaign mode. A very good add-on.

A great expansion for an already good game. Related Designs improved the Multiplayer and delivers a great RTS experience with a new bunch of missions and phenomenal graphics.

For a small amount of money you get so many hours of fun gameplay – thanks to the multiplayer mode and the many scenarios. I can recommend this add-on to everybody who is a fan of the Anno series.

A worthy addition to the Anno series.

Combination of old features with new ideas makes Anno 1404 a noteworthy expansion.

Venice should be the role model for every RTS genre add-on. This expansion for the Anno 1404 entry of the series boosts its original game with its new multiplayer side.

Anno 1404 finally manages to bring multiplayer to the table. The only gripe we can think of is the lack of a new faction. Venice is, however, a strong expansion to the series.

New features, great scenarios and first of all multiplayer mode makes this add-on a true bonus to an already excellent game – if you are fan of The Anno series, this is a true must-have.

A 20 dollars expansion that adds multiplayer modes and smaller features. A nice offer for the more enthusiastic players of the original game.

More than 300 new missions to play and some gameplay twist make Venice a good Add-On. Unfortunately, the lacks of a single player campaign mode is a great disappointment.

This modest add-on to a great game is aimed at players who fancy some multiplayer competition.

The additional material in Venice gives the impression that it should have been part of really great enhancement patch, rather than a fully featured and fully priced expansion.

Although you're unable to build your own Venetian city, Dawn of Discovery 1404: Venice is still a good expansion. Online multiplayer is what we've always wanted and if you're able to schedule at least six hours of playing, you're in for a heck of an experience.

Venice has content suitable for all types of players, but its main target is advanced players who want to test their mettle in new scenarios, or play online with friends.

This is a lightweight of an expansion pack if you primarily play alone. The big news here is to finally compete and cooperate with other players.
