Civilization 4 is a Turn-base strategy that will enslave you. Sid Meier probably owns you right now if you have the game. WARNING: IF YOU BUY CIVILIZATION 4 THEN SAY BYE TO YOUR FRIENDS AND SAY HELLO TO YOUR NEW MASTER, SID MEIER. Although, you only will need a good store bought computer to play this, I highly recommend you get a custom module. You'll need at least (for maximize fun) a Pentium D 2.8 GHz., 1 MBs. of Rams, and a 256 MBs. Graphics card with a good shader system. Now that Thats over, let's review the game.

Gameplay: A phenomenal experience, although there are many unnecessary shortcuts, these can be easily avoided, so it doesn't count. The came has multiple amount of civilizations with there own unique unit and is filled with intelligent A.I., and has more then 8 difficulties (IF YOU PLAY DEITY, MAKE SURE THAT YOU PREPARED TO GET OWNED BY OTHER NATIONS AS YOU WHIMPER AT THE FEET TO YOUR ULTIMATE DEMISE.) which is uncommon for most games. The A.I. is so intellectual that they can pull out the least unexpected moves. If you turn on barbarians, you will be constantly barrage by them. There is so much more but let's continue.

Graphics: The graphics (for Turn-base Strategy) is will done, you will notice that when you zoom in anywhere in the world ( and yes, civilization is a world) is filled with life. Not much to be said here, let see.

Good Graphics: yes
Innovative Terrain: check
Good Camera Angles: What camera angles?
Great Depth Perception: YEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
Special Effects: Tremendous Amounts

Sound: the sounds for civilization is a spectacle, every civilization comes with its own language. If you zoom in, you'll here sounds that help elaborate the terrain. Although there's song with girly choirs, it has a good original soundtrack.

So in the end, this is the value of 2 Halo 2s combine.

I give this game a Perfect Score of 10 out of 10
