“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.”
