Sid Meier's Civilization III Gold Edition

bymcmaster Jan 7, 2004
62 Helpfuls 63 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Civilization III is a very smart and challenging game!
Cons It takes a weekend to play a game.
Recommended it? Yes

What a pleasant surprise. I have tried some of Sid Meier's games in the past and was not that impressed. Most of his games are 80% city building and 20% military. Civilization III Gold is a nice balance of the two and then some. Not only do you have to build your empire and military, you have to... Read full review »

Don't Get Hooked...

Pros enormously expansive, ridiculously replayable
Cons goodbye, productivity...
Recommended it? Yes

I'm morally obligated to tell you right off the bat: Don't buy Civilization III unless you have hours upon hours of your life to throw away. But if you do, you won't be disappointed.

The premise, of course, is that you are the ruler of a small tribe, and must eventually lead them to... Read full review »

Get ready to Rule

13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Always different, simple but complex
Cons graphics could be better, not much action
Recommended it? Yes

Sid Meier's Civ III is a great strategy game for those able to devote hours to one campaign.  You will need to set aside ample time as the gameplay for this can be quite consuming, unless you wipe out all of your rivals early on in the game.  It's a simple, yet complex game because you choose the...

Another Pointless Add-On

byduke101 Jun 25, 2005
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Better AI, new world wonders, tribes, and civilization attributes
Cons Still the same basic game, in-game scenarios are restrictive and uninteresting
Recommended it? No

I am a self-professed Civ 3 addict, perhaps not as much as the good folks on www.civfanatics.com, who appear to have a bit too much free time on their hands, but enough so, that I've become familiar with many of the game's subtle points. And although I go through phases in which I temporarily lose... Read full review »

Different, but the same

byMrBulldogg Apr 13, 2004
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Lots of new goodies, interesting twists in the gameplay
Cons Stupid AI
Recommended it? Yes

Civ III is pretty close to the ultimate open-ended strategy game (at least by today's standards), so how do you improve on perfection? You don't - you add bells and whistles, but discriminatingly so to avoid going over the top.

The most interesting part of the game is the actual... Read full review »

Great Game with Hours of Entertainment

12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Long game time- won't get bored Good graphics
Cons Not being able to ignore opponents moving through your own territory
Recommended it? Yes

Civilization III is an awesome game. It never gets boring because every game is very different. You can choose which civilization to be, and whether you want to focus on science, military, economy, or culture (I almost always focus on advancing science and I'm not very good at wars). I also love... Read full review »

Interesting game, but can get repetitive

Pros Interesting concept, build empires, rule the world. Very stable game.
Cons Repetitive once you have conquered the world a few times. Not enough technology options.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought Civilization III Gold Edition at Best Buy for 30 bucks. I have played it for several months and have begun to tire of it a bit. However, I did enjoy learning it and it is a novel approach to this type of game. Civ III never crashed and seemed very stable.

Pros A fun and effective way to spend your time if you are a gamer.
Cons Get the update patch. Did have problems once due to not having it.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a fun and time consuming game.
The key points of the game is to pick the civilization you want to be and play as that civilization till the game is over. After you start the game and have decided what country you want to be you have to make that country grow, in both military and city... Read full review »
