    Incredibly Addictive

    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

    this game is really addictive, as it adds a whole new playground, as since there are many new units that were not included in two previous versions of Civilization IV. This game includes nukes, cyborgs, robots, clones, etc. Also, this game includes a mod that takes you into the establishment of civilization in SPACE. it's really awesome game and very addictive. strongly recommended for people who are either first-timers or veterans of Civilization IV!

    CIV ONE
    • Written by MM from Winter Park
    • Nov 24, 2009

    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
