 Best Game Ever! December 6, 2007
I started playing this game in the sixth grade. Now I'm about to graduate college and still find myself playing it. It's that addictive. You have to have a good imagination, however, to truly enjoy this game. It lets you envision yourself as ruler of a famous people (the English, the Mongols, the Americans, the Vikings, etc.) during every stage of human history.
The premise is simple: You start out with units called "settlers" and proceed to build cities, roads, and armies -- in other words, you build your own civilization. You also research different technologies and engage in diplomacy to help advance your civilization's status. You win either by conquering rival civilizations or building a space ship that reaches another planet. I always prefer to win by the former method. It's more fun! The graphics are not great by today's standards, but this does not diminish the quality of the game play. I have been playing this game for a decade, and I expect to still be playing it a decade from now.
One of the greatest games ever June 17, 2006
I played the original Civ as an undergrad and Civ 2 in graduate school. Just bought another copy of Civ 2 recently and remembered why I enjoyed it so much. As other descriptions note, you start out with a settler in the year 4000 BC and try to either colonize another planet or take over the world. Although you have the advantage of being familiar with the technologies you research along the way and how you'll be able to use them (something real civilizations didn't have), you play on a randomly generated map so every game is different. There are different levels of difficulty, a lot of options to customize the game to your liking, scenarios available on the Web to allow you to re-create historical wars, and even a Cheat Mode where you can pump up your defenses and crush your enemies when you're in the mood for revenge.
Civilizations II - Great Game June 2, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is one of my favorite games. It is so addictive. It's great because, you can build your own cities, make armies to crush other civilizations, produce caravans to trade with other countries. You get to compete with other nations to see who will be the first to create wonders of the world. I find myself spending hours at a time playing this game. It's great!
Perfect Game April 8, 2005

My father has civilization 2 (I am 7 years old). There is also the Map Editor, a program that allows you to create and play on your own map. As your civilization gets more advanced you can build more guys. You win by either capturing the world or building a spaceship.
Favorite game of all time March 31, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was addicted to the original Civ, and then came along Civ II. I have tried Call to Power, Civ III, and Alpha Centari, but I always come back to Civ II. It is my all time favorite. It only takes a few years in a new game and I am totally engrossed. I lose hours and days at a time.
Want to lose weight? Start the Civ diet. You will choose Civ over food. Want to break an addiction? Civ will become your new addiction. Want to save your relationship? Well, you should take a break every once in a while.
