Civ IV; Massive Entertainment Even If It's Not A Gaming Breakthrough

bybuffoonery Jun 8, 2008
60 Helpfuls 61 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fascinating and massively entertaining look at history
Cons The military system really needs improvement
Recommended it? Yes

Civilization IV is the latest iteration of the redoubtable, very profitable computer game franchise from Firaxis. Everything is bigger, better, and prettier and this game will provide many, many hours of game play. It's addictive. Really addictive. Like the Morrowind games, something I really had...

"Build an Empire to stand the test of Time...."

Pros Improved graphics and sound, more victory options, automates some boring stuff
Cons Memory-hoggish, problems with patches
Recommended it? Yes

In The Beginning....: It's hard to believe, but it's been a bit over 16 years since I was invited to my computer-savvy friend Raci's house and "sneakily" introduced to one of the most popular strategy game franchises ever published.

At the time (1991), I owned an Apple IIe personal... Read full review »

Pros Lush graphics, sound, gameplay, everything!
Cons easy to learn, hard to master; learning curve, addictive
Recommended it? Yes

I have generally moved away from computer games, instead relying on my consoles for my video-gaming fun. The ever-increasing technical requirements for the latest cool-looking games just made it hard to keep up. One exception I've made to this, however, is Civilization IV, Sid Meier's and 2K Games'...

A Review of Civ 4 for Fans of Civ 3

byAndyman Feb 15, 2007
34 Helpfuls 35 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Gorgeous graphics, more complex and interesting yet more straightforward than Civ 3
Cons Still pretty buggy. Gameplay needs to be faster.
Recommended it? Yes

Civ 4 is a beautiful game with complex dynamics that will tempt your strategic mind and keep you entertained for many many hours of gameplay. It's a revolutionary improvement on Civ 3, but the step up in features has some quality bumps along the way.

Civ 3 was the first of the series that... Read full review »

Civilization IV: A Wondrous Game

Pros Deep gameplay, mod system, accessible
Cons Leaders don't lend to dynamic gameplay, need better goal-oriented AI, hardware...
Recommended it? Yes

For years I avoided the Civilization games for the same reason I avoided World of Warcraft. I just was afraid that I might get sucked into the game too much that I would end up losing sleep. Lawns would go unmowed. Electricity bills would rise. Yeah I was right.

Sid's Legendary Civ Enters a Golden Age

Pros Excellent additions like religion, civics and great people. A return to good old Civ...
Cons Can bog down a little late in the game.
Recommended it? Yes

Civilization isn't a game - It's a way of life. That's how I felt into the third year of regular play of gaming demigod Sid Meier's original classic.

In the intervening years since the release of the original Civ, there have been more expansion packs and new entries in the series than you... Read full review »

Best strategy game I've ever played, not for beginners

bywagedomain Aug 3, 2006

Pros A great strategy game with tons of depth and immense replayability.
Cons Hard to get into, major performance issues without the patches, long games alienate...
Recommended it? Yes

The first thing to be said about this game is that it will be very, very difficult for newcomers to jump into this game. It will be mildly difficult for even the most hardened of game veterans to jump into this game without reading the manual or online strategy guides.

I have divided this... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

Civilization IV is magic. That's the only explanation I can come up with. It's not the biggest game ever, it's certainly not the most varied. The sound is alright and the graphics are okay. But somehow, this thing will steal your soul. Maybe it's the subject matter; maybe the desire of conquest is... Read full review »

Pros Great gaming system, excellent graphics, better tiles
Cons Runs slow on older systems, Learning curve
Recommended it? Yes

Civilization IV launched at the end of 2005 and I bought nearly after its release. In its initial launch stage, I had to wait for several series of patches to be released before finally getting into the game. I was still amazed by the great graphics the package offered.

If you're new to... Read full review »

Pros Stunning graphics, sound, and immersive gameplay experience!
Cons Many sleepless nights, will take some time to learn
Recommended it? Yes

I am a die-hard Civilization fan since Civilization I. Naturally, I pre-ordered Civ IV in September 2005, and have been playing it ever since I got it.

CivIV is an "easy to learn, tough to master" type of game. Needless to say, it will keep you up at night playing well into the next... Read full review »
