The game's appealing futuristic vibe is apparent from the main menu screen, where you view the rotating Earth as if through a satellite feed, scan lines and static occasionally disrupting your view. Such notions seem almost quaint in Anno 2070, where fancy health drinks and microchips are in high demand, and submarines scan for anomalies near underwater islands. No longer do you produce spices and dates, or ivory and jade. With Anno 2070, a well-regarded series of strategic city builders goes rushing headlong into the future.
