I've never played any of the previous games in the series, or been into those types of games, but this game (Demo) is awesome. If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend it, even if you're not into RTS games.

I thought it was kinda cool but I don't know what I am really doing. I am sure it would be a 100 times better if I knew how to play correctly.

I'm like you TC, never new about the seris and bam i feel in love with this game. First of all, its not a RTS, thats like Command and Conqures, its a turn based game. Anyhow, i'm real dissapointed that the demo is so short and the game takes so long to come out. So i did a little research and found out there are some AAAs out there on the PC and if you go on ebay you can get it for under 10 bucks. And some PC fans are critizing the console games for being to shallow, So i'm still going to buy it for the 360 but i'm going to be getting it for the PC and play the crap out of it and hopefully i wont get so additcited that ill forget about my xbox. That game seems so extrodanry!i'm even forgeting about BFBC this is the stragy game i ve looking for

I'm a long-term PC Civ addict, and I can tell you that this demo is awesome. I don't know what people are talking about when they say it's shallow. It's not, it's streamlined. There's a big difference. A straight port of Civ IV on the 360 would be a total disaster. What Firaxis has done is recreate the Civ series so that it can work on a console, and they've done a terrific job if this demo is a true representation of the final game.

I actually think that Civ really needed some streamlining in some areas, most notably in terms of managing workers, and the 360 version nails it perfectly.

I think I played the demo about 14 times. That game is awesome, and I haven't even scratched the surface.

Yeah, its a great game but they should of not set a timer in the game. There are a few things that are not very good in the game but its still very fun. However, I do not think its worth the full $59.99 CND price.

It's odd I see this, as two days ago I dug Civilization II out of my garage, and played a whole game straight through. I'll have to check out this new one.

I highly recommend it, even if you're not into RTS games.g8rs_fan

It's turn based strategy, not real time strategy.

Anyways, it's very fun, I'm going to buy the game for sure, not when it first comes out, as Tales Of Vesperia comes out the same day, but, likely a couple weeks after.

What?! I thought Tales of Vesperia comes out in August. I guess I'll have to get them both.

Yeah, aren't they both August 8th releases? Amazon.ca has them both coming on the same day..

Oh, I see, Amazon.ca is wrong.

Tales of Vesperia is like August 16. Civilization is July 8. Unless the releases are different in Canada, which would be wierd.

It's likely that amazon just screwed up.

August 16th is great, before university starts back up, and I have a week off work shortly after then.

Are you serious? If they didn't set a time limit, most people would never buy the game. They'd be happy beating it once on Warlord difficulty with just one civ.

Your logic does not make sense. Why would that stop people from buying the game? In mostly any other game demo, you can play at least a few levels (and sometimes Multiplayer) without timers and the consumer buys the game when it gets released. However, if a game demo has a timer, it only frustrates the consumer, especially in a turn-based strategy game. Why would people not buy the game if it did not have a timer?

I absolutley loved the demo. I must have played it 10 times. However, now that I got the nuke I feel like I have accomplished all I could from the demo and don't feel like playing it anymore. I still think I will buy or at least rent the game though.

i think he meant that if it didn't had a timer the people would play through the whole game with no limits, so he didn't referred to only a few levels of the game only, in my case i also hate timers, i prefer to play a fraction of the game without time limit, than playing as far as i can, in a hurry, with a timer.

I loved the demo aswell and bought the fullgame. Its really a good game. It just feels awesome to look at a huge empire you build in 2 hours and then march your tanks, bombers and submarines to an enemy state to just nuke the hell out of him.
