An absolute hit from the time it came out and it will continue to be until the next one comes out. From the second you sit down and start the game you hear the soundtrack which is a little monotonous but has a smooth flowing sound to it. Then you see all the options you can chose from to optimize your gaming experience and all the great world’s leaders that are available for choosing. Once you start the game it will begin to load but it doesn’t take very long however it is a little boring to wait even with the hints that present themselves at the bottom. Once you are set out to play the views are similar to Warcraft III which also allowed for zooming in and out for closer view or further out to view the entire map. The graphics are not amazing as in the all Civilization games but the game play hooks unto to you and doesn’t let go until you have won and beaten all the other world leaders in military conquest. There are campaigns set up for you to begin such as the American Revolution or Europe in the Middle Ages during the crusades or set out your conquest to capture all the continents that are occupied by the computer our your friends. You can also set up a custom game with different worlds and one computer or six to verse you. So many options so little time because nights are becoming shorter and days longer during which other games must be tested and played. I hope this helps you in choosing to play this game because it is truly amazing.
