Populous DS

released on Feb 21, 2008

Peter Molyneaux's pioneering "God game" gets resurrected and re-imagined for a new generation of handheld strategists in Populous DS. This time players take control of five different deities, and make use of each God's unique elemental miracles to manipulate terrain and encourage the growth of a civilization. Solo gamers can take part in the 50-mission campaign or tackle the "Warrior Hunt" mini-game in the "Free Play Mode," and multiplayer action lets up to four people battle one another using earthquakes, tidal waves, and volcanic eruptions.

Very competently made pocket Populous. Not much to say about it, it's worth a try. Not bad at all.

An acceptable port of Populous to the DS. Kind of a wet fart for the series to go out on, all things considered. The different gods and their powers aren't as meaningful of additions as previous entries in the series, but add enough to make this worth picking up if you've exhausted the other three games. It looks ugly, but not in a way that harms the readability of what's going on or detracts from the overall experience.

The highlight of the game are the apocalypse sections. The crunchiest DS rendition of Ode to Joy starts playing while everyone on the map engages in a final holy war. You'll get a laugh at the "spectacle" of a part of the game that lasts about 3 min tops, which puts it in the upper half of all DS games released.

ele parece muito bom mas não é pra mim, infelizmente dropei
