How Do You Review a Masterpiece?
But, the game is so good, and so deeply involving, you literally cannot stop playing. It's always "one more turn, and then i'm going to bed". Next thing you know it's been 30 more turns and it's 2AM in the morning!
The beauty of the game....you can get involved as deep as you want, or as shallow as you want. There is nothing that says you have to understand everything about a city and how they work and what does what, and all that, but if you want to know, you can get really deep into the game. If not, you can still have a good romp playing this game.
The improvements from Civ III are noticable right from the get go. It's still a Civ game, there is no mistaking that, but the graphics have been greatly enhanced, the sound has been greatly enhanced, the AI (which has always been good) has been greatly enhanced, and the multiplayer has been enhanced out of this world! Civ IV is, in every respect, a much better game than Civ III.....and let's not forget, Civ III was truly a great game!
I love this game. My partner hates it because it's all I do now. :)
