Cool I guess, problematic though.

User Rating: 6 | Sid Meier's Civilization IV PC
Although the game has significantly gotten better as far as gameplay goes since Civ III, there are a ton of problems that I think are too big to ignore.

Maybe a lot of the gamers on here have these massive systems or systems that they commit only to gaming; however, my system doubles as my home computing needs, my web needs, financial tracking, and of course some gaming.

I also had the Beyond the Sword expansion pack running, and had to make some significant system tweaks to get the game to be only slightly playable.

It was sluggish at best. At the worst it would cause crashes and it wouldn't let me remove it from my system. Support from the company is non-existent, and so reconfiguring the system was the only way to get rid of the game.

I won't sell it, because I think it's buggy and the store wouldn't give me a refund because it was opened.

I suggest buying it used from a store that has a 7-day return policy or don't buy it at all.

I'm not usually so critical of games, but this one was truly frustrating and a huge waste of perfectly good money which I could have spent on a different game.

If you can get your game to work, then great! The game would be a fantastic game.
