It may be a dumbed down version of one of the greatest PC Strategy franchises, but it still scored AAA which makes it a must - own title for Xbox360 and PS3 owners who consider themselves hardcore. How many of you will skip this and just buy Madden? :lol:

I'm getting it on the Xbox360. I've been playing Civilization ever since the first game came out. However I doubt I will stop playing Civilization 4: Complete Edition because of this.

I don't see the appeal of civilization, its an ok game, but not that fun imo. Guess I'm more into age of empires type of gameplay.

Age of Empires is far more casual than Civilization. Maybe that's why.

I been playing games nonstop for 25 years straight and never played a RTS seriously!! I probably will in the future though. Saying that (RTS) is hardcore is a joke. Playing 1000's of games and beating 100's and 100's of games (many genras) in your lifetime makes you a real hardcore gamer. Playing just RTS or MMORPGS dont make you anymore hardcore than a Zelda/ Mario fanboy in my book. Now to your question.. I might buy the game or not, lol.

FYI, Civilization is not an RTS game. It is a completely unique series.

I really liked the demo, but i still don't think the full game is worth $60. If it weren't for all the other games that i want that are coming out this year, i'd probably get it anyway, but i think i'll wait for a price drop instead.

It actually made me want to go back and play LOTR: BFME 2, which i honestly thought i wasted my money on but i'm actually enjoying it now.

Uhm, no. If I have to buy every AAA title for the 360 and PS3 to be considered "hardcore," then I don't want to be "hardcore."

How many of you will skip this and just buy Madden? :lol:

Tony-Harrison

I will.

Its much much deeper....a single game in the PC version can last 100 Hours if not more.

They're much, much, much, much more complicated. Infinitely more complicated. Where an 'average' game of Civ: Rev can be said to take 3-4 hours, and 'average' game of Civ4 BtS on the PC can be said to take 3-4 days of playing a couple hours a day. You also have things like individual workers that you micromanage and... for instance, tell to build 'improvements' on any tile... can build a fort to increase defense, a farm to get more food, a workshop/windmill to get more hammers, a cottage that will grow into a village that will grow into a town that will grow... yeah, you get the idea.

As I expected. I guess I could get alot more out of the series (and my computer) if I just upgraded my GPU and grabbed Civ IV sometime down the road.

I got it for the ps3 the day it came out. I really like it a lot. I wish they hadnt dumbed it down as much as they did though for the consoles. But hopefully Sid sees the console as a valuable place to start putting this franchise on in all its glory.

I liked the demo, so i might get it. I'm used to play the series on PC and expected it to be quite bad on consoles tbh, but they did it right.

If I have Civ 4 on my computer...would this game be worth it?

My computer's not a gaming computer so even Civ 4 runs slowly for me, and having nicer graphics and framerate would be good enough for me...but I would like to know if content and gameplay wise it's different from Civ 4.

The game is sold out. They are repressing discs to meet up with the "surprise" demand.

I personally haven't been able to snag a copy.:(

I'm just waiting until (If ever) it comes out on PC, or at least the Wii. C'mon, the Wii remote can kind of be used as a mouse.

On the serious note I enjoyed playing the demo. It was a fun game, but I don't have enough money to buy it. This is a rts game, but not the typical rts game like warcraft or c&c. As fun as the demo was I don't like the gameplay style for me to play competitively online like i do with wc3 ladder.
