"Vast improvement over Civ 3, just wish I hadn't grown up while I was waiting"

I've played the Civ series since Civ 1. For me, Civ 2 was perfection. Civ 3 was a disappointment. Civ 4 corrects all the mistakes made in Civ 3 and really takes the game to fantastic new places. But the thing is, all of the new features seem to have diluted the pure fun of Civ 2; of course I suspect I feel this way only because I no longer have the time to dedicate to these epic, sprawling games. If I was stranded on a desert island and could have only one game, it would certainly be Civ 4 -there are more hours of gameplay here than in any other game.

Civilization IV is a really good game if you are into strategy games. You make your own Civilization with a leader you pick from a list. There are a number of ways to win. Hint: If you are buying this and are going to use it on Windows Vista download patch 1.61 before you start playing but don't download 1.74 or else you are going to have to reinstall it.

This is one of my all-time favorite games! I've played the Civ series since Civ I, and I've loved them all. This latest addition only adds to an alreay great series! The graphics look great and the play is engaging and very addictive!

After the most recent upgrade the game play, after the 'Noble' level is exciting. The difficulty is that there are so many features that are not explained so you have to play many games to understand them all and use them effectively. Many of the frustrations of the earlier versions have been removed, like it taking forever to change regimes, keeping the government in anarchy for many moves.
I have played all of Sid's Civilization games, even a few of the knock off Civ's. I wondered if it would continue to improve the game in this 4th version and it truly has. This is a must have for any classic stratagy gamer. I look forward to the next expansion or version, but am content with the unlimited replayability Civ4 in the mean time.
"Civ IV Just Doesn't Make It"

I've had Civ IV since shortly after it came out but I'm still playing CivIII. This is not an improvement on version III, it's pretty much a whole new game that isn't anywhere near as good as III is. Yeh, it's got pretty pictures compared to III, but who needs them in this kind of game. It's not looks - it's Strategy!! The tech tree is now incomprehensible. It has elements of a fantasy game (the animals). But the worst thing is the lack of a real editor. The "World Builder" is available at any time during a game. With Civ III you lived with what you had in the way of resources, units, etc., once the game started. With this turkey you can go in at any time and add units, resources, whatever. Losing isn't possible anymore. That pretty much spoils it for me.
