Disapointing ending (2008-11-10)
We played this game for a few months straight, and couldn't put it down. The main complaint with this game is the game progresses way too fast and just when it's starting to get good, it ends. The "the game will end in 5 turns" prompt is the most frustrating thing I've ever experienced. The graphics were amazing, a lot of the thinking was taken out of the game for you, and there is very little customizing in the game to be done. The worst thing about it was that it never seems to get out of the post-bronze age, and that once your weaponry gets more advanced, the game is over. Oh and might I add that you can't attack land from water even with a battleship or sub, redering your navy almost useless. You can only attack water vessels to water and you can use your ships for transport. Your soldiers don't update with the times and being stuck with archers towards the end of the game when your enemys have seasoned officers and militia can be quite annoying. Overall, stick with the PC version folks, it's a much better longer, more satisfying play. I did enjoy the PS1 Version quite a bit as well.

SID MYERES REVOLUTION (2008-11-09)
Very easy and fun game. Takes a long time to play. This is like a hyper civilized version of RISK. I wish it were a little more realistic.
However very fun to play especially for us middle age gamers!

Know what you're getting . . . (2008-11-03)
. . . and that is Civilization Lite. This game is not the next step in the Civ series. If you (like me) like your Civilization large, long and deep, this game is not for you. There's some new stuff here (stack three units together to form a more powerful army; kidnap a great person with your spy) and it is well done, but hard-core Civ players are going to be disappointed.

The plus side is that it is extrememly accessable. Games can be played in a couple of hours (as opposed to days) and the game concepts have been streamlined. Meaning those who are put off by the micromanaging of the PC version (read, my kids) can really enjoy this game. So if you're looking for an introduction to Civ (or have attention deficit problems), this may be the game for you. If you're looking for Civ V or even an expansion of Civ IV, take a pass.
