Populous: The Beginning - PC game review

Populous: The Beginning was developed by Bullfrog and published by Electronic Arts in 1998 for PC, and Playstation the following year. One of the first 3D RTS. There was also Bullfrog's Dungeon Keeper in 1997, Battlezone earlier in 1998 which was an FPS with RTS elements. Originally known as Populous: The third coming, Populous: The Beginning is the third game in the Populous series. Criticized at the time for being too different from it's predecessors which were God games, and for being too simple of an RTS. There are some things that set Populous apart though, the Shaman and her spells, the ability to deform land. It's a great game and definitely worth checking out!
