4 out of 5 stars Civilization's Baby Brother   September 2, 2008
Lives up to the Civilization standard! It's a great game and I guarantee you'll love your first victory in world domination - with whatever path you choose. Unlike previous Civilizations for the PC this one goes along with a faster pace and less customizations (basically no pre-game customizations); however, the multiplayer is far more engaging and easily accessible. This is a game you want in your collection, especially if you haven't played a Sid Meier game.


1 out of 5 stars Good for an hour of play at most   August 27, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

This game was a total let down. The time moves so fast, that just as things get interesting, the game ends. And it is not like the old one where you could keep playing (even though you had won), in this version, it just ends. you can start over, but the same thing happens again.

COMPLETE LET DOWN.....



3 out of 5 stars Great first try for the console   August 26, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Pro's

* Excellent Graphics
* Great Game Play
* Games are not as long and tiresome as the original PC game


Con's
* I get a headache after playing too long b/c of the way the screen moves from one city to another. It bounces all over the place after you have built tons of cities.
* Not a huge variety of units and buildings compared to PC civ


Multiplayer -

Pro's
*Games are completed fairly quick appx 2-4 hours


Con's
*Lots of disconnects and lock ups which are very annoying
*Games are not customizable
*Only allows 4 people in multiplayer


Overall the game is still fun to play! I have logged several hours trying to unlock all the achievements.



4 out of 5 stars A great console revision, but missing soem good options   August 20, 2008
  2 out of 3 found this review helpful

First of all. This game was not meant to be Civ 5. It is a whole new game in the civ series. It is meant to bring casual gamers into the civ fold.
It has MUCH less options compared to the computer games for that reason.
Games will take 3-5 hours. If you play teams you can get done even faster. The multiplayer works well. You can control the timer on custom multiplayer games but you cannot control the timer speed on ranked games(must be on normal)Xbox live keeps tabs on peoples ranks. You don't have to join ladders like the PC.
A great feature about this game is the ability to talk to you allies and opponents over your headset! Diplomacy is conducted through speaking rather than typing. A big improvement.
There are some options missing that would have help for replayability though. You cannot control the world size or the number of players. You cannot change the climate or anything like that. The maps are still randomly generated, but the options are standard for every game. I think this would have helped for replayablility and just for the challenge.
Overall its a great way to play civ in half the time of the computer game. The next civ for a console will no doubt have many of the features that are missing in this one. We have to remember that this is the first one they have made for a console. Its still addictive and all around fun to play. If you cant live without all the technicalities of Civ, stick to the computer version. If you can I would recommend it for purchase overall.



4 out of 5 stars Who knew world domination could be so much fun?   August 18, 2008
  2 out of 3 found this review helpful

This game exceeded my expectations. Sid Meier fans will not be disappointed. It is addictive, and somehow the gameplay stays fresh, even after your 4th or 5th time playing. Also, the "Game of the Day" function is fun if you're looking for something new.
