The name says it all...! Build a civilization! You wanna know more? follow in...
You might say that is what you usually see in strategy games but never before with this much detail...! You can choose from many factions (countries) and each with 2 leaders to choose from. Apart from that there is the option to choose the world you want to play the computer difficulty and so on.... well these are all very well! But what differs this game?...
In a first glance what will caught your eyes is the staggering graphics used for a turn based game. Fully animated units, with a fully animated world in a 3D based world map. I can say thats a good start. On the next step what you would realize is the cites, villages and other concepts of the game....
The game in general it is a great fun to play and has a bad addiction feel to it. Since if you get ahead you jus' wanna keep playing to stay ahead. there are many graphical points that if i were to mention this review would have been better printed as a book, since they have really put thoughts into designing this game. The game play is fairly good, and the difficulty settings don not jump in steps, and are adjusted carefully to math you taste.
From my point of view for the fans of this game it offers allot of new choices, buildings, tech, discoveries and so on... but what it still does not offer is the concept that limits your game up to some extent. If anyone recalls the game "Civilization - Call to power" you would remember that in the game you had no population limit, no time limit, and some what no tech limit. The fun it gave from playing was you were not suddenly shocked by seeing your best city cant grow anymore and people are angry with over populating a city!
I still think the game is good. It offers allot of things to discover which I am so not gonna tell you guys, so you better buy the game believe me you wont regret!
Over all i for my part give this game a rounded up 9 of 10 and i can say in the series this one is the best but yes there are ways to improve as well so keep an eye out for another CIV-Episode n the future!
