Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Fantastic, Underrated Game
I have no idea how this is averaging only three stars, because Civ IV (along with Beyond the Sword) is without a doubt the most balanced and entertaining turn-based strategy games ever made, and a serious contender for the best PC title released this decade.

Rating: - Better than Ever
This is quite an upgrade from the previous Civ III title. Things seemed easier to manage in this version, upgraded graphics, easier user interface, and tons of fun. You can't go wrong with this game if you like building things.
I was slightly disappointed with the limited advanced technologies but I am guessing that was intentional so they could sell the expansion packs.
Overall, fun, interesting, and a game that you can dust off every year or so and still get enjoyment from ... Read More
