Civilization IV

"You don't have to be a history buff to enjoy Civilization IV, though that would help...and so would previous experience with other Civ games…If you have even a passing interest in strategy games, world history, or getting less sleep at night, you owe it to yourself to give Civilization IV a try. And if you're already a fan of the series, then what are you waiting for? You should already be playing this game."

"The original Civilization is among the most enjoyable, influential games of all time…There's just so much to experience in this game that you can't possibly hope to cover every topic. While I'd love to tell you all about the other joys and secrets here, Dan and I have to go and teach the Greeks a lesson."

"A game with this much depth, this much strategy, this much replayability, and multiplayer is totally unheard of in this space. Civilization IV stands alone. No fan of strategy games should leave this on store shelves."

"Civilization IV is an incredibly addicting, engrossing, and incredibly well-designed inclusion. No stone was left unturned as the developers crafted this masterpiece and if you’re a fan of the previous installments of this game, you’re definitely going to enjoy this latest edition. If you’ve never played any of the series, or even a game like them, this is the perfect game to introduce you to the turn-based strategy genre. Pick this one up as soon as you have the cash for it, you won’t be disappointed."

"Yes, it’s easy to get lost in the details, but that’s the game - that's why I like it. The joy is that you’re getting lost in the right details in the game, and engaging with the strategy."
