Solid expansion, adding new features, new achievements and a new faction to the game. Honestly, the expansion would be just worth it for the addition of multiplayer action to the game. If one likes city builders, this is not a game (and an expansion!) to be missed.

The title of Venice may lead you into thinking that there is a new playable faction (which is not the case), it's still an excellent expansion to an already great game.

I got both the game and the expansion for one low price on special so im giving it 4 stars based on Value for money..

Having the expansion always makes things more interesting.

Multiplay is there but as usual the Single play is where all games shine.

Game play is very Similar to that or Port Royal and the Old Pirates gold with a good mix of City Building like Zeus,Poseidon and those type games.

This game will keep you playing for hours and is worth the buy.

if you liked the orriginal game then this is a much needed expansion, more of everything :D

Needs the original, of course.

1404 is a tightly build strategy game, this xpac only expands with new options, new quests, and new everything. If you liked 1404, this is what everybody wants, more of a great thing!

A solid expansion pack for an already great game. Plenty of new features and items to make the game well worth the price of admission, and to add onto it there is now multiplayer which will expand the games life on your hard drive. The spy/saboteur aspect is also quite interesting and adds on another dimension to the game. The only qualm I have with this expansion is the inability to build Venetian cities in a Continuous Game, which I thought would have been there given the way the game was previewed. But such is life, plenty of new stuff added in and the addition of MP really makes this a must have for Anno/Dawn of Discovery fans.
