I can play Civ without being in constant trouble with my girlfriend.

Great, it took a while to get used to, but to be honest a shrunk down slightly abbreviated Civ is good news. Yes I love the complexity and control of all the minute aspects of the P.C versions, but this is a nice take on the genre. The lighter more instant approach that has been adopted in this make for a fun but not life absorbing world domination sim. I love it. I can play at world conquest on the loo, on a plane or while my lady subjects me to X factor. All in all I was hoping for a game similar to Civ 2 and while it is and it isn't I still have a very satisfying romp through the ages of man.
Although I'd have liked the option to chose map sizes and nuke annoying races to hell (only 1 nuke per game), there is still enough in this to keep me happy.
The best handheld world domination sim to date!
