Review: Civilization III really blew this time!!! Amazing graphics, real leaders and very addictive. If you like Age of Empires or Empire Earth, you'll love this game. Way to go, Firaxis.

Summary: Civilazation Craze
Review: Awsome. I don't like that it is based on turns, but otherwise I would highly recommend it. Good graphics

Summary: Too Many Bugs to enjoy it
Review: Stay away from this bug-ridden game or at least wait until a final patch is released. I sure wish I had. Technical support is virtually non-existent. There are serious programming problems with the software.

Summary: Boring, boring, boring
Review: Poor graphics, poor resolution, tedious game. Give this one a pass.

Summary: If you got tired of other civs, altho great, ditto here
Review: The three stars are for people who have played previous civs. If you've never played it, then five stars!
Much nicer graphics, more subtle diplomacy, tough opponents, endless variety of worlds and foes, more automated units....much of the stuff that made the first two civs so neat and addictive are upgraded.
But some of us stopped playing after we "got the idea" with two or three lengthy and very engrossing, but increasingly predictable (in terms of the basic process), games. I'm one of those. If you're the same way, Civ III might not even last that long for you. I got it with a gift certificate and a little extra cash, so I can't complain. I would have not wanted to pay full price, however.

Summary: Civilization 3 stinks
Review: I purchased civilization thinking it was a good game. Whatever anybody tells you, It STINKS! It was a bomb! Civ. 2 was far better. It's not worth it in any account.
Rating:
Summary: Good game. Nothing unexpected.
Review: How many times are they going to update the graphics and then sell Civ as a new game. Granted, there were some minor changes, and the civ-specific advantages were nice......But it's the same game Microprose published way back when. Try something new, Sid.

Summary: YOU MUST BUY THIS PRODUCT!!! (honestly)
Review: Sid Meier designed a game EVEN better than Civilization2. It is hard to imagine that this could be done, but it has!!!This game has everything:
Trade
Diplomacy
Scientific advances
War & Peace
Exploration
Culture
Money
Space Race
EVERYTHING For those who are not familiar with Civ2, I will explain as simply as possible: The whole idea of the game is to build the BEST CIVILIZATION possible. What does this mean? MANY THINGS. YOU CAN WIN IN MANY WAYS:
1) Build a Civilization that achieves military dominance...CRUSH THOSE WHO OPPOSE!
2) Build a Civ that overwhelms all over Civs, so they want to be like you...IF YA CAN'T BEAT 'EM, GET THEM TO JOIN YOU!
3) Accumulate points that you are awarded for population, happiness of citizens, and even gaining knowledge. BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE!
4) Expand. Just be the BIGGEST Civ and you win by owning 66% of the world's land! GO WEST/EAST/SOUTH/NORTH YOUNG MAN!!!
5) Be elected UN Secretary General by the players ...PLAY NICE WITH OTHERS!!!
6) Win the Space Race. FIRST ONE OFF THE PLANET WINS!!! Now, you may ask: Well, how do I do this? GOOD QUESTION. The answer is simple:
Build Cities
Have Wars/Declare Peace
Trade resources/luxuries
Gain Knowledge All of this is done at the macro and micro level. You can control cities' production of units, improvements, and wonders of the world. This can also be given to a COMPUTER governor (AI). This will speed up the game. But if you love strategy and you love detail and control...YOU CAN DO IT ALL. NONE of it remains out of your control...if you want. This game is perfect because it allows you to control what you want, and nothing you don't. The AI is good, the graphics excellent, the concept SUPERB, and the overall game STUNNING. You will want to play this ENDLESSLY. Strategy, action, tactics...it has it all!!! However, should you buy this game and you listen to my recommendation...DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ALL THE TIME YOU LOSE IN YOUR LIFE... YOU WILL LOVE THIS GAME!!!

Summary: Great game
Review: This has to be one of the best games I ever played. When I play Civ3 I lose track of time, and I wish I had more time to dominate the world. The game allows for many differnt levels of play. Not only can you choose the level of difficult , you can choose the type of landscape your playing on , and the other civs you will be playing with. I also like the fact that you can win the game a few different ways. Sure you can crush the whole world ( That is fun!) , but you also have the choice to win by diplomatic means , by space travel , or by cultural dominance. Another great part of the game is when you retire the other world leaders taunt you!
