Way kool cross platform game... Posted 10 March 2007
The game is a fun and thoughtful simulation of how civilizations advance from misty beginnings to a not so distant future. The 3D graphics are fun and informative. It's good instruction for anybody who thinks that national security is obtained just by buying troops. Unlike some computer simulations, people have the time they want to think out actions that would take years to implement in the real world. The Windows version on my wife's machine interacts fine with the Mac version on my machine. I'm buying another Windows version of the software to play with one of my grandsons in another state.
A girl's review Posted 02 March 2007
I bought this game thinking it was more like Sim City, when actually it's nothing like that series at all! There is no hands on building and managing, at least not anything like the sims game. People considering buying the game should know that it is more board-game than Sim-style building. Some good things about the game were the graphics, discovering technologies, and expanding cities. The cons were that it moves at a slow pace, I was often bored with it. Also it seems like the AI (artificial inteligence) that you play against were either too easy of too hard to beat. Interesting game and concept. Probably wouldn't get future titles in this series.
Civilization IV Posted 11 February 2007
I bought this game for my 18 year old son, and he was bored most of the time because he did not feel as challenged by this game as others he has played. Might be okay for 13 to 15 year olds. He said it wasn't terrible but it could be so much better and more challeging. One of the best things, he said was the "Scope", meaning the amount of land and civilizations. He said the game music for the first part was aweful then it got better. He said the combat was terrible and should be/could be made better for the gamer. He also said the first half of the game, meaning first 4000 years could have been probably removed or somehow made to go quicker. Overall, he was hoping for more of an historically correct game. He feels it is "historically lacking".
Better if it was more like Civ III Posted 03 February 2007
I have been a Civ 3 player for about 3 years now, and i love the game. Civ 4 is just too different from Civ 3. Its more complicated, a less effective interface, and just completely different from Civ 3.It may have better graphics, but that doesnt make playability.
Cons:
complicated interface
Drasticly different from earlier versions
Completely lost the Civ spirit
Pros:
Better graphics
(and thats all)
