I was excited when I heard Sid Meier was revisting the Colonization franchise. I had no doubts it would be good, and I am not disappointed. In many ways, this version is far superior to the original. True the graphics are undoubtedly better, but the functionality of the game is much more intuitive. I was able to pickup on this version within minutes. I usually start in Easy mode so I can get an understanding of the game. I like the looks and sounds, the all around feel of the game. There have been a couple of graphic bugs so far, but I know the next patch will resolve many issue as well as improve the game experience. I think the Trade Route setup could be easier. I also think the Euorpean Screen could be changed a bit. I like the new European look, but I miss the docks and city in the background scene like in the original. My sincere thanks to Sid Meier and the team at Firaxis (and EA too) for giving us back a great game!
