Streamlined, fun version, not for supergeeks July 10, 2008 robin b 13 out of 17 found this review helpful
This game is not for super civ heads. Civ is extrodinarily complicated and takes months to learn and play well. The average console player simply doesn't have the attention span. This is a great way to play a quick, turn based mental exercise and a great change of pace from all the shooters. Ignore the civheads reviews, of course they are not going to like it.
Best Civ Yet! July 30, 2008 FuninNYC (NYC, USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is so much fun and a really good title for the PS3! It is great for kids (helps them learn about world history) and great for adults as a strategy game. A lot of Fun! and a the game upddates new maps every week!!
Be warned: this game will make you lose track of time!!! September 13, 2008 C. Cochrane (Beverly Hills, CA USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Do not start this game if you have plans or have a tight schedule. First day I got it, my wife left the house around 2 p.m. and I thought "I'll play for a couple of minutes..." Next thing I know my wife comes back, it's already dark outside and I'm still on the same exact position, wearing the same underwear and dying to go pee... More than five hours had gone by!!! The game is very cool and highly addictive. Enjoy!
Great game for all ages July 25, 2008 Ben Miller (Blacklick, Ohio United States) 6 out of 8 found this review helpful
Like many of the reviewers, I too have played Civ games for a long time. I am not disappointed though. To me, it seems that the endless amounts of staring at the computer screen while my units move or take several turns to do what I've told them to do is now finally gone. This new era of "simplified" Civ actually means a cleaner visual with nice vignettes, decisions that are more instinctual, plenty of teachable moments with my children about how civilizations are born and ruled, and the best part about it is that I don't have to spend 6 months to conquer the world. I could do it in one day. The sheer volume of hours that I've spent in past Civ games watching units and workers just move around the screen could all have been used for some greater good if I'd had access to this newer, faster version. Thanks Sid!
Great game August 18, 2008 Redline 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Fun game and is replayable many times. Could run a little better late in the games. Graphics are pretty good also.
