12 Labours of Hercules IV: CE Mother Earth
Based on both the beta AND the CE demos.
Let me get this out of the way first and foremost.......
I LOVE

LOVE 
love this game!!!!! Okay, just once more ..... LOVE THIS GAME!!!!
The gods are angry with Hercules and wanted to seek revenge, but there was a celebration for him first.
Go figure. 
Hercules drank Beer 
and drank Beer ..... and drank Beer some more ..... during his party 
and, soon enough, a potion 
was poured into his cup without his knowledge. 
A year later, Hercules is so sick 
he can't get out of bed. 
The gods are very happy about this. :KFP: 
But, Hercules rises to the occasion and off he goes to rebuild the kingdom which became a desert wasteland during his illness .
I have NEVER seen such amazing graphics in a "build it" type game.
AMAZING! The music was a bit ....... well ........ sometimes it sounded like "countdown" clock music 
which bothered me since I was playing an untimed clock mode. The voice overs were the best yet in this game series.
3 difficulty modes: Relaxed (untimed - YAY), Casual and Expert.
The gist of the game is the same as previously in this series. Gather wood, gold and more. Put out fires, watch for the hydrant (to use to put out said fires), rescue people, fix the pointer
(sign) so you know which was to exit and leave that area to go to the next challenge. In the casual and expert modes, you can earn up to 3 gold stars , depending how well you do in each level. In all the modes, you have "bonuses" in the form of an extra man and extra resources.
I was so enthralled with the beta I wanted to stop playing and purchase it immediately!
I had to remind myself that it was only a beta! 
In fact, I've replayed the beta several times ...... a week 
...... waiting impatiently (we all know I have NO patience 
) for its release. And, now, it's HERE!!!
I don't know, though, what qualifies it as a CE.
I mean, really, that's a pretty steep price for no extras that I could see.
I hope you join me in rebuilding a deserted wasteland with Hercules and, always .......................
ENJOY!
Overall Impression: DO NOT let this gem get away!
