 Boring and Overblown September 14, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this game with no experience or expectations. The only other computer games I have played, other than card games, are Monopoly, Scrabble, and Chess. I gave up the two former due to the obvious and annoying advantage the AI gives itself. Chess, of course, does not cheat, the AI is just super smart, which is OK.
But, I was not prepared for the bewildering array of helter-skelter movement and rules, coupled with virtually no instruction, no tutorial, and worst of all, NO FUN! Just an enormous investment of time, slogging through endless movements of barely discernible figures groping through the dark. I am not instinctive about PC games and need some help getting acclimated. Civ3 gives you none. I particularly dislike smug instructions that assume you are a veteran of PC games in general and this game in particular.
Yes, I'm a newbie. But life is too short to become a polishied player at this; it's the law of diminishing returns.
Even at the bargain basement price I paid, it is not worth it. I just won't feel so bad when I throw it in the trash.
 Highly addicting, great for travel. September 11, 2008
This game is addicting, as all Civ games have been. However, the biggest flaw, and rather important, is that battles play out the same way per turn. That is, if you battle, then reload game, the battle will be the same, unless you have other battles, or wait for next turn. It makes the game feel quite ridgid. Otherwise, the game is very good, and great for long travel, as time gets lost easily.
 Civilization III Complete September 10, 2008
I bought Civ III Complete after playing it at a friends house. I find it highly addicting and suited for all types of players and skill levels. The bundle includes the original Civ III, plus the Conquests and Play the World expansions.
If you are not adverse to staying up late because you just can't turn it off, this is the strategy game for you. Re-playability is not an issue - every new game creates unique challenges.
Civ III Complete good bang for the buck May 14, 2008

Great strategy game, endless possibilies and play time. Since the game has been out for awhile, you can't beat the price.
Classroom Project March 28, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I purchased this game for a classroom assignment. My class is studying to be Elementary Education teachers, and we are experimenting with this game to see the value of entertainment in education. This game has several important lessons to learn about social studies in general, but the added benefit of enjoyment helps motivate the students toward learning much more than any assignment which would not involve fun.
