Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword
Incredibly Addictive
Written by JB from Santa Monica
Dec 2, 2009
I've been playing the Civilization series since Civ 2 - and this edition is at least as good, if not better, than all the rest. I love the new 3D graphics. I just bought this a couple of weeks ago and had to delete it from my computer because it was so incredibly addictive. I'll be re-installing it once I get some free time over the holidays. I recommend this to anyone who loves strategy games. …More

CIV ONE
Written by MM from Winter Park

I liked the game play, but there is still some things I really don't know why they have yet not fixed. Over all I gave it a four just because is not what I initially was expecting from Aspyr and 2K. I liked all the new features, and civs, and though i disliked the loading in between worlds or scenarios, I've got to say they really came out with some good ones. …More

Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword
Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword is good.
Written by LH from San Francisco
Nov 23, 2009
The only reason why I give it only 3 star is because:
Cons:
1) Game Ranger does not support this game's expansion pack, 2) No one knows about this expansion because Aspyr really took a long time to get it out. Therefore, when it came out, the fan base dropped sporadically. I also dislike the early complaints about the porting it saying that the code was too hard to decode. Why have it now then? I mainly enjoyed single player, but the re-playability is not so high.
Pros:
1) They can make a hybrid disc or program like Blizzard or other company. I know what you are going to say. However, if a game company creates a disc or program for both you will not lose market share, but you gain some extra cash.
I recommend this title, and I approve this message. …More1 of 13 people found this useful
