Onkos kukaan meinannut kyseistä peliä hankkia? Julkaisu on aivan kohta ovella, ja mielellään kyseisestä pelistä kommenttia kuulisin. Mielenkiintoinen ominaisuus on kaksinpeli, toinen kaveri voi olla jollain tavalla jeesimässä pelaaja. Vielä ei tiedä sen tarkemmin kuinka syvällinen tuo co-op on.
Ign:n previkkaa löydät täältä ja videoita täältä. Ja niin, peli on kyllä komea, voi zoomata ihan lähelle ihmistä ja katsella hänen tekemisiään, tai sitten voi tarkkailla korkealta koko kaupunkia.
Ign:n previkka on erittäin positiivinen, laitan sen suoraan tuohon spoiler tagin alle. Olkaa hyvä ja jakakaa omia ajatuksianne

Anno: Create a New World Preview
An unexpected treasure for the good ship Wii?
by Matt Wales, IGN UK
UK, May 8, 2009 - We're not quite sure who's peddling the third-party Wii dynamo at the moment but, seriously, that guy's on fire. And here's another little gem you might want to stick on your shopping list, courtesy of Ubisoft. Just to clear things up before we get any further, you might know Create a New World as Dawn of Discovery - its North American moniker - but, whether you've been lumbered with the pre-school title or the recklessly bland one, you're looking at the console version of the hugely popular PC city-building strategy series, Anno.
You might already be familiar with the latest entry in the Anno franchise, Anno 1404 (confusingly also titled Dawn of Discovery in the US). However, you can scrub that out of your mind as this Wii version, while sharing similar themes, has been developed from the ground up specifically for Nintendo's console by Keen Games. It's 1404 and King George's land is in turmoil, suffering from debilitating droughts and famine. In a bid to save his dwindling population, he calls on his sons William and Edward to set sail on the high seas, establish new settlements in exotic new climes and produce the goods needed to save the kingdom.
In game terms, that translates into a deftly handled blend of real-time resource management and strategic city building. Our preview build of Create a New World featured three chapters from the final game's extensive story mode, each split into multiple objectives. While the winning criteria might shift from task to task, the core of the game always sees you seeking out new islands and establishing settlements, depending on their suitability to produce specific goods. Some islands might prove particularly fertile for food production, for instance, while others might provide the ideal climate for hemp growth (and, subsequently, clothing manufacture).
Of course, you'll need settlers to do the hard work and, more importantly, pay taxes to provide the financial resources to keep the wheels of economy turning. Once you've sailed the ocean and found an island that meets your needs, your next task is to establish housing and a constant food supply for your early inhabitants. With a burgeoning community in place, expansion requires a source of wood and stone for building, plus an eye on more cultural offerings. Once their basic needs are fulfilled, you'll need to keep your growing population happy by satisfying their other whims from clothing to places to practice religion. In a nutshell, the more content they are, the more they'll evolve from pioneers to settlers and onward up the social ladder, right through to aristocrats.
As your empire evolves, from settlement to bustling city, buildings and amenities become more sophisticated and you gain access to other goods and production methods. That's just scratching the surface of the game though. Alongside areas of influence, affecting everything from productivity to citizen satisfaction, Create a New World features roaming specialist characters who can hop from island to island, improving certain attributes to help you meet objectives - ocean exploration, treasure hunting, pirate battles, technology trees, trading posts and even achievements that reward with sea charts to further your endeavours. In other words, Ubisoft certainly hasn't scaled back the strategic core of the Anno series for the Wii audience it's a fully-fledged real-time strategy experience and offers an incredibly satisfying amount of depth.
What's more impressive about the game though is how well it's been tailored to suit the Wii. For starters, Create a New World features a visual style that's instantly appealing and, while it mightn't be pushing a record number of polygons, it's packed with character. Erring on the stylised side, it's all pastel colours and soft edges, yet manages to pack in a surprising amount of detail. Zoom all the way in and buildings are distinct, citizens walk the streets, animals roam the wilds and wagons shift goods around town all giving a real sense of life to your little islands. It's practical too with well-designed menus, easily-accessible, legible information screens and an incredibly intuitive, streamlined interface. The whole game can be played via the remote pointer, with B calling up the construction menu, A confirming actions and + or - used to access one of four levels of zoom. Beyond that, you can click-and-drag to move around the world (or, alternatively, use the analogue stick) or hop from island to island with the d-pad. That's it and it works sublimely.
In fact, there's a touch of Nintendo about the whole product, with effortless accessibility - a perfectly-paced opening deftly introducing the games core mechanics - married to impressive production values. Cut-scenes are largely static but striking, while music is charmingly unassuming during construction and suitably bombastic during moments of pirate-based peril. It's fully-voiced too, with all characters supported by some excellent, engaging casting (is that Tom Baker as King George, by any chance?). It's a game that actually feels like it wants to be played and is thoroughly entertaining as a result. In all honesty, we weren't expecting too much from Create a New World but we've been incredibly impressed by the depth and quality of what we've seen so far. With plenty more to offer beyond the story mode including two-player co-operative multiplayer we're genuinely looking forward to seeing more of Create a New World come its European release later this month
