History Channel games may not be technically the most innovative, but if you enjoy the Roman period of history, this is a fun game. It is basically a DS version of Legion Gold so if you played Legion on the PC, then you will know what you are getting.
If you haven't played Legion, the game involves building structures within your city (farms, mines, baths, etc) which allow your city to grow and better types of soldiers to be recruited. Velites (spear throwing light infantry) and peasants are the beginning types you can recruit.
When combat occurs, you can arrange your units, select your formation and basically let them go (there is no control once the battle starts). the top screen of the DS shows the little soldiers hacking away at each other (no blood or gore, very PG), the bottom screen lets you scroll over the battlefield.
Losing a battle requires lots of time rebuilding your legions, so don't get too hasty. For a simple DS game, it is solid entertainment.Get more detail about History Great Empires: Rome.
