Trafalgar Origins

Trafalgar Origins

The games was based around a television series entitled ‘Bloody Foreigners’ the main aim of this series was to show how Britain was supported in battle by non-British national. There was also a large online section with this game playing a large role, the game was designed to engage their teen audiences. During the game you command Napoleons Royal Navy as the British, French and Spanish fight.

There is a training section where the play can learn the basics such as sailing their ships and building a crew. One negative that I did fine about this game was that controlling the ships where hard and slightly frustrate but I am sure the produces of the game could argue that controlling a ship took a lot of skill and it is realistic and accurate game play. After that came the arcade section which builds these skills with historic battles that nelson experienced.

The game is fun and engaging, and as far as I can tell the facts and details are very accurate to the real life events. A nice tough I thought was this game gives the option of both single-player and multi-player modes where friends can join you live in battle. The game also connects with Facebook which is common in non-education games but I think is again a nice tough allowing player to join with friends completing with achievement and scores. Visually the game looks good with menu screens, charts and maps designed with the time period in mind. The animation is also very accurate the boats do move in a realistic manner.
I believe the game does capture the player’s attention and imagination, It should appeal to teens. The game is well made and does help you to understand the history.
