Fun

I like this game quite a bit. I am thinking about getting at least one of the expansion packs. At this time, the only little critique I have is the diplomacy part, in that it seems to be difficult to demand things from your computer opponents. I like the flexibility of the tech tree, and all the different units available to build. Overall, a very good game!

First CiV game and love it.

I bought this game over steam and have spent countless hours playing it as well as the mods it shipped with (not sure if that is offered with amazon). If you like turn-based RTS games this game is for you. If you enjoy enjoy games like starcraft, empire earth, and age of empires but prefer building rather than warfare then this game is even more for you!

Games are often very long, and it has a pretty steep learning curve. I for one have to play on an easier difficulty to have fun and still am not very skilled. But i love the game. It is a very details and in depth-game. I have bought it twice, once over direct2drive and then again over steam because i was not happy with my D2D purchase. Will probably end up buying this game a third time so i no longer have to run boot camp to run it. If you like the things i mentioned about this game I sincerely suggest you either buy it or play a demo; you will love this game.

Would be good if it didn't crash

Reviewed by Apple User, 2009-01-18

Even with the latest patch from Aspyr this game was unplayable for me. It crashed (requiring a reboot) every 10 minutes.

During those 10 minutes the game seemed like it would be fun, but it was simply too frustrating to try to play through the crashes.

Great game for the strategists of the world

My title says it all, basically. This is not the type of game for those who just want to quickly build up an army and crush the opposition. This game requires a good amount of patience, but for anyone who likes to relive history, and build your own custom empire, or just to play a game that plays somewhat like chess, but also like a war game, this is for you. A very fun game for those who appreciate strategy.
