The latest game in a classic series.
Civilization is a game that is played differently from person to person. You could take a diplomatic route helping other civilzations and getting help in return. Or it could be played useing a military route buliding up your forces to destroy the other civilizations.
This is a turn based strategy game, often thought to be left for old men with long beards but this game is accesible by anyone. You get sucked in and lose hours at a time. It can be played in short bursts or marathon timed games.
This game accomplishes exactly what it set out to do. You must build an empire that can stand the test of time. How you do it though is left up to you. There are many ways to complet this game each with strengths and weaknesses.
When you've mastered this game in every way you thought possible it dosen't have to end. This game has an excellent online play. Test your skills against strangers or the best of the best. Or if you prefer have a laugh with a few friends.
Stop The Press!
I almost finished this review without mentioning the wonder movies! Oh yes there back better than ever. For those who've never played a civilization game these are cgi movies triggered with the construction of a wonder. The movie shows in great detail the construction being well...constructed. Examples of these are stonehenge,the pyramids and broadway.
Overall this a masterpiece of a game. If you are looking for a game that requires thought but also has action I seriously recommend it.
