Graphics are the best in the series yet, although the font can be overwhelming after a while. There are neat mini references to Greek and Roman mythology. Gameplay is more complex in that there's possibility of interaction with more characters. On the other hand, this means more to keep track of and not all features are well-explained. I breezed through Tradewinds 2, but this game left me wandering around a lot initially. I was also confused by the hierarchy of buying ships; after I had more money, somehow I could not buy a 10,000 drachma ship, only a 7,000 drachma. Wierd. The quests are more disparate than in Tradewinds 2 (I didn't like Legends), and sometimes after earning a item, one wonders what to do with it, whether it will be useful in the long term. All in all, still a great game in comparison to the others out on the market. Definitely worth your time.
