Boring and Overblown - Reviewed on 2008-09-14
2 customers found this review not to be helpful.
I bought this game with no experience or expectations. The only other computer games I have played, other than card games, are Monopoly, Scrabble, and Chess. I gave up the two former due to the obvious and annoying advantage the AI gives itself. Chess, of course, does not cheat, the AI is just super smart, which is OK.
But, I was not prepared for the bewildering array of helter-skelter movement and rules, coupled with virtually no instruction, no tutorial, and worst of all, NO FUN! Just an enormous investment of time, slogging through endless movements of barely discernible figures groping through the dark. I am not instinctive about PC games and need some help getting acclimated. Civ3 gives you none. I particularly dislike smug instructions that assume you are a veteran of PC games in general and this game in particular.
Yes, I'm a newbie. But life is too short to become a polishied player at this; it's the law of diminishing returns.
Even at the bargain basement price I paid, it is not worth it. I just won't feel so bad when I throw it in the trash.
Highly addicting, great for travel. - Reviewed on 2008-09-11
This game is addicting, as all Civ games have been. However, the biggest flaw, and rather important, is that battles play out the same way per turn. That is, if you battle, then reload game, the battle will be the same, unless you have other battles, or wait for next turn. It makes the game feel quite ridgid. Otherwise, the game is very good, and great for long travel, as time gets lost easily.
