Civ 1 and 3 are fantastic. Civ 2 is incomplete, lacking some scenarios but Civ 2: Test of Time is on there and complete. Unfortunately you will need a Virtual Machine (VM) and a workstation with a physical disc drive to make ISO's that can be mounted if you want to play the games as they are not compatible with Windows 7 or above.

After being a WOW addict for some time i finally kicked the habit and bought an updated version of a game i used to love when i was younger. If you have ever played previous Civ games then there wont be much here that you wouldnt have seen already. There is a new espionage system that adds a little extra to the pot but i was able to fit straight in with the game no problem. The plus sides are the better graphics which helps pass the turns as you go through. You have a multitude of advisors that can give you variying types of information as the game progresses and you have huge scope for developing the world you want to explore. There is also a multi player system included which i have'nt tried out yet. The issues i have with the game are that it has lost alot of the personalisation and individuality of the game. Within a few turns of starting a new map you have already encountered most of the computer AI players which takes away any idea of hiding out and trying to develop quickly before being discovered. The pleasure of actually getting a world wonder has been diluted by the fact that the bonuses they provide arent great and there are so many wonders they are basically just different buildings now with no sense of acomplishment attached. If your a fan of the civ style games and you have'nt played one for a while its a great one to get back in on. If your looking for a new gaming expierence then this isnt it there are deffinately more involving games of a similar type around.Read full review
