Rating: - "buy this instead of spore."
I believe that after seeing the reviews for spore I decided not to get it. apparently it is ILLEGAL to play this game with someone else or lend it to them. so that means ONLY you can play it. it also causes problems on your computer, causing your computer to crash,freeze etc.. civ III is a fun game and does allow other people to play it. I highly reccomend this game.
Rating: - DANGER - SecuROM
I installed and enjoyed this game, until I found my CD/DVD drive wouldn't work, then my IE explorer started crashing, and soon after I realized that this game installed SecuROM v7 on my PC. I am VERY angry. I've completely uninstalled the game, but cannot get rid of SecuROM. I still get requests to register Civ3 Complete when I logon to my PC, even though it's uninstalled, and my drive is still not functioning, and IE is still crashing. There is no warning on the box anywhere that SecuROM is on it - I NEVER would have purchased or installed it had I been aware. The only solution now is to reformat my entire drive and install the o/s from scratch. I am looking to contribute and join any class action suit open against 2K Games for doing this, I am so angry. I've yet to go through and find out what other older software I have has now been rendered useless by these b@stards. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!
Rating: - Good Game
Hadn't played this game in ages. So I figured I would get this one after playing Civilization Revolution on the XBox 360. Though I forgot how freaking hard it is at times. I love the game, but can easily get my butt handed to me cause of the interface difference.
Rating: - Boring and Overblown
I bought this game with no experience or expectations. The only other computer games I have played, other than card games, are Monopoly, Scrabble, and Chess. I gave up the two former due to the obvious and annoying advantage the AI gives itself. Chess, of course, does not cheat, the AI is just super smart, which is OK.
But, I was not prepared for the bewildering array of helter-skelter movement and rules, coupled with virtually no instruction, no tutorial, and worst of all, NO FUN! Just an enormous investment of time, slogging through endless movements of barely discernible figures groping through the dark. I am not instinctive about PC games and need some help getting acclimated. Civ3 gives you none. I particularly dislike smug instructions that assume you are a veteran of PC games in general and this game in particular.
Yes, I'm a newbie. But life is too short to become a polishied player at this; it's the law of diminishing returns.
Even at the bargain basement price I paid, it is not worth it. I just won't feel so bad when I throw it in the trash.
Rating: - Highly addicting, great for travel.
This game is addicting, as all Civ games have been. However, the biggest flaw, and rather important, is that battles play out the same way per turn. That is, if you battle, then reload game, the battle will be the same, unless you have other battles, or wait for next turn. It makes the game feel quite ridgid. Otherwise, the game is very good, and great for long travel, as time gets lost easily.
