When I bought CivCity:Rome I was looking for a fun building game that I can waste some time on, on a lazy weekend. This game is very close to what I was hoping for. CivCity is a building game that allow you to build great cities to Rome and it’s gods. You have a huge choice of buildings and farms to choose from. Building a city and keeping them Romans happy is a real chore, you got to build layers of service for your city to expand. For example, if you want to feed your people, you need to make a farm, then have that farmer send his goods to a bakery. Every service need other services to make it function well, and in this I think this game has some depth, because you can’t just toss up a building and watch it grow, you need to have support resource to make that happen. Graphic wise game is just OK, nothing too fancy, but it gets the job done, the sound and voiceovers are pretty well done and it does help you get an idea of what the citizen need. There are also battles and armies in the game, but I didn’t really buy this for that so I try to avoid that as much as I can. This game and 1701 AD are very similar style games, if you like that you will like this one.
