 Ray's review April 29, 2008
After the most recent upgrade the game play, after the 'Noble' level is exciting. The difficulty is that there are so many features that are not explained so you have to play many games to understand them all and use them effectively. Many of the frustrations of the earlier versions have been removed, like it taking forever to change regimes, keeping the government in anarchy for many moves.

I have played all of Sid's Civilization games, even a few of the knock off Civ's. I wondered if it would continue to improve the game in this 4th version and it truly has. This is a must have for any classic stratagy gamer. I look forward to the next expansion or version, but am content with the unlimited replayability Civ4 in the mean time.
 Civ IV Just Doesn't Make It July 13, 2007

I've had Civ IV since shortly after it came out but I'm still playing CivIII. This is not an improvement on version III, it's pretty much a whole new game that isn't anywhere near as good as III is. Yeh, it's got pretty pictures compared to III, but who needs them in this kind of game. It's not looks - it's Strategy!! The tech tree is now incomprehensible. It has elements of a fantasy game (the animals). But the worst thing is the lack of a real editor. The "World Builder" is available at any time during a game. With Civ III you lived with what you had in the way of resources, units, etc., once the game started. With this turkey you can go in at any time and add units, resources, whatever. Losing isn't possible anymore. That pretty much spoils it for me.

I pre-ordered this game as I used to be a big fan when I was younger, however they moved away from the simple strategy to big graphics br /br /I can be easily entertained with simple strategy but graphics are pointless in my opinion if the strategy is boringbr /br /this game has no strategy involved just better graphicsbr /br /it annoyed me so much when I bought it because I wasted all my time with it to begin with because of all the problems with the game play and savingbr /br /Civ 2 is still a more interesting game to me than civ 3 and civ 4 combinedbr /br /can't get enough of the world war 2 scenario
Civilization stands the test of time January 17, 2007

I've been playing Civilization since it's initial release, and each version has only improved on the last. If you have time to dedicate to a game (4-6 hrs or so - broken up) and love history and strategy, this game is a must. Hell, even if you don't love history or strategy, you'll still be enthralled.
