Didn't Turn Me On November 12, 2008

I wanted to like this game- I loved Civilization on the Playstation 1, and thought Civ 3 was excellent on the PC.
Oh I'm just not sure... It feels dark, distant, yet massive and impenetrable for anyone who cannot devote entire weekends to it.
Oh my I just want to like it, it is magnificent... I can't put my finger on it. Is it the battles, which compared to Civilization Revolutions now look pretty poor? Maybe, or maybe its the general darkness, the move away from cartoon-style in Civ 3 to a very serious, very realistic world map that is full of ugly greyness and brown?
I don't know, maybe I will come to love it in the end, but will the average person have as much patience?
 Enjoyable October 8, 2008

After digging up the old Alpha Centari game, I wanted to play some of the newer ones.
Found this and Loved it!
Very addiction, nice graphics. Didn't have any compatibility or crash issues with it.
I would say that the characters in the game can be some what annoying and almost a bit childish, but can be easily ignored!
Overall a very fun and worth while game with lots of different out comes.

WOW! Being new to CIV, i didn't know what to expect. I had been pondering over whether or not to buy this game since September. And buying this was a great choice and idea for mny reasons.
Here's why;
Graphics: 9.0 - Amazing until you really zoom in. But this game is meant for keeping quite zoomed out until you enter a battle or fight at whic point the camera automatically zooms in. This is not a hinderance though, i find the graphics very detailed. The leaders and videos are very well animated and are very detailed aswell.
Sound: 8.5 - Sometimes the sound can be slightly distorted but most and literally all the time the game has great sound. I love the way that the Civilisaion that you have chosen for your campaign has it's music evolve over the game, so it reacts to the time period you are in.
Gameplay: 9.5 - They have literaly thought of everything and more in this game. The two expansion packs have definately improved the game. It lasts for ages (i played the short game and it took me over 7 hours to complete). And the technologies in the game that all link to each othe in someway or another. religion is agreat aspect that i like. i felt privilaged to be the founde of religions such as Buddism, Christianity and Islam, amoungst others. The worlds and leaders are amzing. And the traits of eachleader really shows when you don't or do agree with them or give them tributes etc. Such as Ghandi, he has a huge toleration and a good cultre levl (which helps in te upkeep of your happy citezens), compared to Julius Ceaser, Roosevelt or Mansa Musa who have amow tolerance level and high technology (which helps in military matters). S it is good to keep on the good side of leaders, which i shard because they all have enemies too. So when they ask you to stop trade with a certain civilisation and yo either aree or disagree it will upset certain leaders, not just the two in qustion. Justlike if you were to declare war on one civislisation it will upset or even make other leaders happy.
Overall: 9.0 - Take 2 have realy put alot into his game and have made a truly outstanding game that will (as you are required to in the game), "stand the test of time".
