 Great simple game October 3, 2008
This game is a great game that doesn't require alot of thought to have fun with my only problem with the game is it takes forever while playing online.
 Love all Sid Meier Games September 30, 2008
While this game runs similarly to many of the Civilization group of games, it has a different perspective, different goals and methods. While familiar in game play, there are new things to learn and new challenges for those who enjoy Civ.
Really awesome strategy game. September 25, 2008
This game isn't about a story line. It's about strategy and lot's of it. It's about as straight forward as you can get. The Easy mode is what I'd suggest for people who want to either get acquainted with strategy games or just not think, but still play this genre of game. It gets harder only a reasonable amount as you go up in difficulty. There is no split screen, but you can easily connect online to somebody for a head to head match. All the fun facts that are in the game a pretty good bonus I'd say. You don't need to know the history behind the things, but it's just enough information to remain interesting. Overall, you really can't go wrong with this game unless you're going for achievements and you are really horrible at strategy games. Maybe the worst part is that you can spend hours on the game and not notice it. lol
 Unsure if it's a worthy buy September 22, 2008
I agree with much of what many say about the game's short length. It's definitely addictive, fun, but most certainly NOT price-worthy. From a novice into the civ games, I enjoy the gameplay alot but yet still have difficulty grasping certain concepts. But, regardless, the game needs to be longer...or at the very least give players the option of extending it to unpredictable outcomes. So I'll return my rental in a day or so, but probably won't buy it afterwards.
 Its not worth it September 19, 2008

Pros:
The turns do not have to be manually selected when there are no changes in the game play. Turns automatically cycle though if you have no available moves. I also liked the creating of armies with 3 separate groups of soldiers.
Cons:
BOOOORRRRING....
The game lacks the strategy from the previous versions.
You have no control over the workers, yes you can tell them what they should do, but I prefer control over them, to tell them where they need to go etc.
The game seems to cater to 5 year olds. Whats up with the goofy characters popping up on the screen talking gibberish. Very annoying. You can turn off the gibberish sounds but cant turn off the goofy characters. They just annoy you through the entire game. I literally expect Goofy to pop up, thats how goofy these characters look.
The is no auto explore. You gotta manually make each move.
The map is too small. You run into other Civs within a few moves.
The game is too short. I would like a little depth, thank you.
The cartoony like graphics were disappointed. I, and I am sure most other Civ fans, would have prefered a more realistic type graphics in the game.
Overall, as a Civ fan, I was highly disappointed in this game, even pre-orderd the damn thing. If you are a Civ fan, and would like to check out this game, wait til the price drops and see if you can get it for 5 bucks, because that is all it is worth to me.
