Summary: A nice idea but a horrible implementation
Review: One of many branches of Civilization, this series is made by the company that bought the board game rights to the original Civilization.Some added/new features to Civilization are sea and space development, separation of infrastructure and unit builds, expanded trade and trade routes and a much greater variety of items to build. The addition of sea and space environments are a great idea. The original Civilization series sufferd from a "Y2K" problem in that once you reached present-day technology the game play sputtered to a halt. New environments greatly extend gameplay. The different trade rules are a nice addition. Showing trade routes (and allowing piracy) make ocean forces more necessary. In the original Civilization you could pretty much ignore naval unit development. Not so in Call to Power. Piracy can shut down an empire. However, the game has a couple of fatal flaws. First and most damaging is a bad AI implementation. It is ridiculously easy to win this game, even at more difficult settings. Secondly, there is no provision for obsoleting military units. I've had enemy musketmen "shoot down" my stealth bombers. (!) These flaws make the game unplayable. My advice: don't waste your time with this series unless/until they correct the AI and obsolete military unit problems.

Summary: Takes the great game play of civ 2 and goes 1 step further
Review: The civilization 2 gold does what most other gold eiditions do. Takes the game and makes a few changes and this one gives to a nice instrution booklet. In civilization you start with simple settlers and build a city. You must build units to protect those cities and city advangements to keep your people happy. Later in the game you meet other civilizations and can either become allies and trade technologies or enimies and try and take over your oppents teritory and cities. This is a game that I would recommend for everybody.

Summary: Such a wonderful game, such a horrible design
Review: There's so much to love here, you almost fogive it. Almost. This is the best-ever Civ game (assuming you prefer Earth history to space-future; if not, see Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri); it truly is. At least from the stand point of what it tries to do. If you have a G4 tower and abt 256MB of RAM, you'll just adore it. You won't be able to get enough. Unfortunately, most of us don't. I tried to play this on a 233MHz iMac. Oh Gosh! 48MB of RAM "recommended"? Hello! It ran, all right -- with 150MB of virtual memory (and in case you've never tried it, the trade-off in processor speed for running all that VM just ain't worth it). You might as well try to run Windows 2000 on a 286, or Mac OS 9 on a Macintosh Plus (if that were possible). Again, if you have the processor, go for it: this is truly wonderful. But if you don't, just forget about it. All you'll do is kick the box it came in.

Summary: Civilization Review
Review: This game on the scale of Civilization games is not a classic or a amazingly exciting plot, yet the ability to explore new realms of technology adds a lot to the game play. I levels out at about a 7.

Summary: Civ 2 for the Mac is great!
Review: This is a great strategy game. The graphics are sparse - more like an old-style board game where you move pieces rather than the snazzy 3d graphics we have come to expect (and that slow a game down). Civ 2 is an open-style game - there is no set path the game will take. You can try to peacefully build a society based upon trade, democracy, and commerce or you can devote your efforts towards military conquest. The choice is yours. The AI is pretty good and game speed is fine. Try it!
