I remember playing the original like it was yesterday. Beavis and Butthead on the TV, Nirvana on the radio, and me on my Packard Bell. I spent hours in my mom's basement, wasting away from rickets while the normal kids were soaking up the sunlight, going out on dates, playing sports, and leading generally normal, productive lives. Civ 1 really messed up my life...but in a completely awesome way. I mean, I couldn't get enough. Doubly so with Civ 2. The things you could do with that game. It had...personality. I remember little stuff, like the different architectural styles, that gave the game such an immersive quality. I remember how every time I played, the world had its own story, and how things would seem to take on a life of their own. The endless war with the Mongols, my alliance with the Germans, butting heads with Caesar. I learned more about...

That's probably because the game looks great and the real flaws don't start to show up until after a few hours of play. There are certain things I really like about this game. City states were a great addition and make the game a lot more interesting. Being able to purchase land is awesome and realistic. Easier rushbuying is a lot of fun and doesn't unbalance the game. The new combat system is pretty goofy (for example, archers are a ranged unit but riflemen are not). It's a bit more fun than the old "stacks of doom," but I see reviewers praising the new combat system as "more streamlined" when it is definitely not. Moving an old stack of doom required 2 clicks (click on SOD, click on destination). Now you need to do the same thing 5-10 times as much to move an army. The new Civic talent tree offers more customization of...

It's nothing like the other games in the series. It's really "Jon Shafer's Civilization", the 26-year old "lead designer" of Civ 5 at Firaxis. This was his first game as "lead designer". Second - this game is utterly unbalanced. There are a million flaws in the game that were never playtested. For example, producing wealth is irrelevant because you get far more gold from producing a unit and then deleting it. Certain civilizations are far more powerful than others, or can exploit certain tech/policy combinations to easily defeat other civilizations. The worst elements are things that were fine in Civ 4 and made worse in Civ 5, like exploiting Great Scientists. The Wonders of the World are mostly useless now, or not worth the hammers. Third - So much content has been actually removed or downgraded, like Civics -> Social Policies, or the number of leaders and civilizations. Finally - This... Read more |
