OK where to start well Anno is a series that is very successful on the pc platform however on its transition to the ds it does mildly well.

Firstly the modes in this game are limited but the inclusion of Nintendo WFC would have boosted its appeal.

The graphics and sprites used for the series is a welcome addition as they are very vibrant in colour and their animations are well designed.

But being the first RTS in the series to touch the ds I expected as single player mode that would enable the user to take over the world but instead its scenarios.

The scenarios are satisfying with users being able to take over areas and create new settlements in enemy settlements aswell.

Overall in my opionion this should not be the last time we see the Anno franchise on the ds as this game deserves to be bought or atleast rented.
