 Best of the Bunch! |

| I enjoy all of the Westward games, but III is definitely the best of the bunch. The game requires you to create a settlement in the old west. You'll have to build homes, farms, and buildings, attract settlers, ward off bandits, and keep the settlement supplied with food, water, gold, and wood. Westward III includes some definite improvements on earlier Westward games- you can now use the mouse controls, graphics are better, and there are new ways to extract resources from the landscape. Westward III also has the most coherent storyline- you'll be working to reclaim land from an evil robber baron. This is a long game, with hours of gameplay. Well worth the money and lots of fun. |

| i think this game is great.the game starts out easy,then gets harder as you go.in this game you hunt for gold and set up little western towns as you go along.each individual in this game has their own job whether it be running the general store or working the gold mines.i also have westward 1 and 2,love the both of them to.in this game their is always a new task you have to meet.i have the most fun fighting the bandits that come in to the town,you even have your saloons with your drunks.i would definately reccommend this game,hours of fun. |

This game is great.. and for the what... $4.00 I paid for it... it's great!
The graphics are exceptional for a game of this price...
the play has been well thought out...
equal to any game of it's nature in more expensive forms...
I did however have a few sound issues with the game...
when ever I clicked on a character in certian (somewhat random instances) I would get a looping of the response acknowledgement from the character...
"Yes Sir!" "Yes Sir!""Yes Sir!""Yes Sir!""Yes Sir!""Yes Sir!""Yes Sir!""Yes Sir!""Yes Sir!".... etc... can get pretty annoying...
this goes away as soon as you click another character however and only crops up again at some random instance later...
Anyway this did not really take away from the game...
I mean... one small glich out of an otherwise very well done piece of software...
I don't get as good a results from games I pay $60.00 to $80.00 for!!!
if your even half interested in a Real time Stratagie kinda Role play sorta game of the old west... get this game...

| All the "Westward" Games from Sandlot are great! This is no exception. Many hours of fun & play. Make a western town thrive through various tribulations- bandits, earthquakes, drought. Find gold deposits & make mines, build farms & ranches to feed your town, complete various "quests" to earn experience & gold, all in real time. Graphics very good. Worth the money. Works well on my vista pc. |
Good Game

I don't usually play this type of game so I can't compare to many others. I enjoy playing, it's addicting. When I start playing, I end up playing for hours. It takes that long to get some things done. But you can also save the game at any point and come back to it later. There is a lot going on that you have to keep in mind. Lots of strategy involved. Lots of new quests to accomplish. Lots of incentive to keep going. The challenges get more difficult so you're always being pushed to do better. There is a sandbox area to learn and try different strategies.
My complaints are I would like to be able to quickly and easily find characters, both by name and type. It's easy to lose someone. I also wish the homes gave the names of the characters living in them, that would help with some strategy. Other complaint is it uses so much system resources that sometimes it won't even turn off. I always have to reboot after. I'm using windows xp.
Overall a very good game. I paid a lot more for the only other similar game I've bought and it was nowhere near as complex. |
