ANNO: Create a new world
(Nintendo Wii™ & Nintendo DS™)

A time long, long ago... A year hotter and drier than any before. Famine and drought plague the lands of the Occident. Concerned for his people, King George, ruler of the Northern Hemisphere, seeks advice from his two sons, William and Edward, who could not be more different in their convictions and personalities. To help save the kingdom and counter the famine, William proposes to set sail for the unsettled islands in the South of the kingdom. They could be developed and farmed, which would supply the people with both land and food. The King loves the idea, very much to Edward's dismay. The brothers are sent out to establish colonies and to bring back food and supplies. On their journey to South they come across something foreign and alien - something which will confront them with new challenges beyond that of bringing salvation to their homeland. Not only will they face new enemies, but they will also find new friends as they race against time. A shimmer of hope appears on the horizon...

"Even the entirely pointer-driven interface is a delight with clear, concise menus and a control system that simplifies everything down to two buttons. Everything from object interaction and construction uses a combination of clicking and dragging, making for an incredibly accessible package."

Videogamer: 8/10
"What most impresses about Anno is how well developer Keen has repurposed PC Anno for the Wii without losing the essence of what makes the series what it is. Pointing and dragging is all you need to get by and it works. Pressing the B button brings up a radial menu, ala Halo Wars, that gets you to every building the game has to offer as quickly as you need it to. ...And, really, for a Wii game, Anno looks great. Yes it’s cartooney, but the art style fits the tone perfectly, and the production values are excellent. The buildings are well animated and colourful, the sound effects are appropriately pleasant and the voice acting is, actually, well executed, if a tad cheesy. In short, bravo Keen. Bravo."
