Summary: Mucho Funno 2008-10-15
Comment: That big whooshing sound is the sound of my life whizzing by as I sit completely absorbed into this game. Lots of fun, endless hours of gameplay, and guarranteed to annoy your wife / significant other / house pets.
Tip: You're not going to be able to jump in and play out of the box (the game has a steep (but rewarding) learning curve. Go to Civilization Fanatics Forums on the web to get tips and tutorials.

Summary: As Close to Perfect as a Game Can Get 2008-09-23
Comment: A great game gets even better. Add to it the fact that you can mod-out features many features you don't like with very basic knowledge of XML, and that the developers actually provide C++ source code for the game so that professional programmers can rewrite the game themselves, and you have a recipe for the best. Even my non-gamer friends have fallen in love with it, especially girlfriend types once they realize you can play cooperative team games on a LAN.
One word of warning: this game is hard at first, especially if you have never played anything similar. It does get easier, though.

Summary: A major update, could be called Civ 4.5 2008-09-22
Comment: This is not a mere expansion pack but a major update to a fun but flawed game. It is simply much more polished and better thought out than the original. It also comes with tons of great mods. Overall the value is excellent. My only complaint is that the difficulty level seems to have gone up a notch as well, but maybe I am just not very good at this game.

Summary: Great But still missing something? 2008-08-24
Comment: I have been playing civilization since it started and civilization IV is great but i have a hard time with the fact that knights are beating my marines,or archers beating my infantry or calvary's very unrealistic.the new world wonders are great,I wish they would have Cultural wonders Big Ben for the english,etc and corporate wonders such as empire state building,transamerica etc.otherwise its close.I also hope to see The leaders change I mean queen Victoria lasting until the end of the game i wish i could live that long.they should have leaders die and have new kings,queens, emperor become elected.They also should add the Austrians,and Canadians some important civilizations have not been added to the game yet.Otherwise Civilization IV has improved,and is fun to play
