Let's get it out from the start - this game is undoubtedly the best Civilization game ever, and is definitely up there with games like Halo 3 and Mario Galaxy. If you like the Civ series, buy this game. If you just like strategy games in general, buy this game. If you just want a good game to play for a while, buy this game. If none of the above apply, BUY THIS GAME! You should not miss out on this. Superb graphics, faster, smoother, more accessible and deeper gameplay, superb sfx and music, tons of small, humourous notes... the list goes on and on. There are more ways to win, to upgrade and specialise your cities and your civilization in general, and more ways to trash your enemies in war. Religion now plays a part in history, civs will try to make you change your civics (they replace having a single government type, instead you can customise them completely - a communist police state with freedom of speech, a democracy that persecutes other religions, etc. etc.), and the world builder interface allows you to completely change the world - one of my favourite moments was using world builder to turn Tokyo to ocean while at war with Japan. Rofl. In conclusion, this is a game you simply must buy.
