For the first time I sat down and played one of Sid Meier's timeless masterpieces. It was a delight to play!! Whether or not the game runs like prior titles is up to you, but I give the game a two thumbs up!!
The graphics aren't too much to get excited over, but the game play itself is exhilarating and enjoyable. First you choose one out of 16 civilizations from the ancient Egyptians to the Americans to lead from the Stone Age to the Space Age, but along the way you compete with five different civilizations. Catching on to the game's concept proved rather difficult at first, but once you get the hang of what you're doing it gets enjoyable. In the game you can build military units, construct common buildings and great wonders, declare war on disgraceful enemies, and march through time proudly. There are five difficulty levels to choose from. I recommend Warlord lever (the second level) for first timers at the game for the Chieftain (the first level) is too easy. There are four ways of winning: domination, cultural, economic, and technology. Each depend on achievements made in the categories.
When the going gets tough in your empire you can always rely on your advisers.
There are four advisers in the game that aid you in ruling your empire. I personally think that the advisers are no help but they are hilarious to listen to... they talk in gibberish which makes them sound like MORONS!!
Apart from the funny voices and grunts that the characters make, the audio is rather impressive. The music is appropriate and innovative.
Sadly I was not able to experience the multi player feature =(. This required Internet connection which I obviously lack.
OVERALL 4/5 PRICE: 60$
