Miley keeps navigating from her school to the boardwalk, then into the shopping mall and finally the concert stadium.

Every once in a while there comes an intriguing game that more than just revolves around its basic story and presents to you an allegory. Behind the facade of the spectacularly set backgrounds and beautiful shores of Anno 1701: Dawn of Discovery lays an unsettling view about our imperialistic past. But that aside this incredibly brilliant game released by Ubisoft allows you to more than just experience history and actually make it.

Set in 1404 amidst the drought stricken lands of King George, you take on the role of one of his two sons, William. The basic mission is to set out in search of undiscovered lands and utilise the new found knowledge and resources to help your land recover. The game features a newly developed scalable 3D engine that delivers top notch visuals.  The game begins with you discovering new lands and then deploying lumber yards for wood. This in turn allows you to build more houses meaning a raise in population. The gameplay then evolves into something similar to Sim City DS where you manage your new lands and the people in them. Due to the fact that the population in Anno 1701 requires food for sustenance you have to grow food, hunt and fish. But merely feeding the population is not enough as the Sims get bored easily and need a pub to recuperate and a church to nourish their spiritual needs. To further expand this settlement resources in form of material and money is required which is collected through a tax levied on the population. The primary objective is to find out the requirements of your inhabitants and provide for them. The happier the Sims are more is the amount of taxes you generate. Pirates and other invaders pose a threat to your newfound land and because of this troops have to be created and stationed at various buildings. Launching warships to other areas and gaining control of their buildings will reap in rewards. The game is divided into three modes: 15 single player campaigns, the infinite sand-box mode and the multiplayer mode that allows a maximum of four players to play at once. The rich, vivid and detailed environments are a sheer joy to watch. Even though this massive game features on the tiny Nintendo DS the screen never looks cluttered. Various icons are placed on the screen that provide all the necessary information.

The developers have certainly put in a lot of work to make the Anno 1701: Dawn of Discovery an easily accessible game that features tremendously detailed environments and is superbly navigable by the DS stylus. A perfect game to discover, strategise, build and conquer as you go about setting your micro-civilisations and remaking history.
