Anno 1404: Dawn of Discovery

Anyone play this yet? How is it?

I started downloading the demo before I left for work.

I saw this on Steam yesterday and was going to look for some reviews. Also apparently there's a Wii version that's completely different from the PC version or something?

I thought the demo was cool. I've never played the previous games in the series so I don't know how it compares to them though.

I didn't really care for 1701, so I'm not sure how this one will turn out.

Kinda a screw up I think.. Steam announced it as multiplayer, they've just pulled that statement as.... IT HAS NO MULTI-PLAYER!! Which reminds us of the 1503 release where they promised to add multi-player for 6 months in a patch, and then didn't.

Play the demo for a weekend and that's pretty much all there is to it. Get 1602 if you like the multi-player (which this game was really meant for), it was the last game they made that supported it.

For some reason, the demo pushes my graphics card (GTX 280) to very high temperature (as high as 90C) so my fan is always maxed out. The demo doesn't seem to support SLI either. Granted I'm running high resolution (25x16) and very high settings, but even Crysis doesn't push my temps this high.

Is anyone seeing this also in the demo or in the full version? Has anyone been able to get SLI to work?
