Love it!! November 4, 2009 D. Perez (ny,NY) This is a really fun game and gets addicting after a while. Dont regret buying it and you can replay it alot, which i love.
The game is over-simplified on PS3 November 3, 2009 H. Li (Houston, Tx USA) On iPhone, it's 4.99 dollars, from 2K, basically doing the same thing... The big difference is the graphics.
I'm kinda disappointed on this game. It's not even close to Civ4 which is so addictive. Before you buy this one, you may try it on iPhone first to see if you like this over-simplified version.
Furthermore, online experience is bad. Dropped 5 minutes after we got started.
In a word, I don't really like it. Rather get a PC version instead.
Gerald 2020 Review August 17, 2009 Gerald2020 (Omaha, Nebraska USA) Strategy games are rare on the Playstation 3. This game can keep me occupied for hours on end and has enough variations with the different governments and leaders to allow at least months of enjoyments. My games last around 8 hours. The save feature allows you to reload games and try a different strategy to alter the outcomes. Multiplayer is, once again, only for online which means your friends can't join in when they come over.
PC is better August 14, 2009 O. Vilaysack Gameplay - I think if your not a hard core civilization fan, then you will enjoy this game more because as a beginner, there is a lot of helpful (and annoying)helpers that help you learn all the basics of survival and how to run your country and what to do. Also the controls are easy and the menu is also easy to navigate. For hard core fans (like me), if you have a PS3 (Or X360) then I would NOT recommend this for you.
Graphics - 3.0/5 I really don't care about Graphics but if you want to know my opinion then here it is. Graphics on this game are not the best but at lease it's playable.
Online - Online you can select from modes like "free for all", "Team match", and much more. This game has a decent Mic system that likes to cut you out a lot. There is also a thing called game of the week where they set up a scenario for you to play each week. There is also leader broads witch you can compare your score with your friends or other people from the world. Overall, I think online if pretty good and I like it.
Single player - Well, the first time you play to game, you have an option to chose if you want an annoying guide to help you around or not. I chose yes because I thought there might be something different from this and all the other CIVs, but not, there was not. But if this is your first CIV game then I say go ahead (Unless your the kind of person who gets annoyed a lot). You have different game modes to chose from, such as "play now" witch selects a random scenario for you to play, and "game of the week" witch was mentioned earlier. There are many more game modes but you will just have to play to find out.
Overall - I kind of like this game and kind of not. This game is a hit or miss for anyone. I guess you just have to try it yourself...
very pleased August 9, 2009 Brittany Gibson (Cedarburg, WI) I had rented this game from Blockbuster and just had to buy it! I was very pleased to find it on amazon for half the price! Shipped sooner than I expected. Excellant!
