after having played Caesar 2 & 3, this game was a delight. the full 3d rendering of a roman city is done marvelously. with 360 degree camera turning and changing weather conditions, this game looks wonderful.

Pretty Good

I'm a fan of building historical civilizations and this one is my favorite. The other one is Children of the Nile.
The graphics are very nice and the interface isn't bad as well. The tutorials are very informative as well as the manual. The scenarios are nicely detailed and get harder as you go through them. I like the zooming levels and the fact that you can rotate the camera 360 degrees. The path finding of your citizens is surprisingly good and watching them go about their daily lives is a pretty good expierence. I've had this game since it was released and it's never crashed on me. It's a nice historical city builder.

Best than the rest!

This game outshines the previous caesar III. You need a fast PC with a good video card in order to enjoy this game, The graphics is superb the gameplay is still preserved. Hail to tilted mill for doing a wonderful job on this game. This is a 100% leap for this kind of game genre

Exciting graphics don't make for more engaging play

Although I've been a fan of Caesar III for over 3 years, I have not found Caesar IV to be as engaging. City-building is spectacular in the new graphic environment; however, inadequate messaging and information about how to improve prosperity is as frustrating as in version III. The user interface is not particularly intuitive, and maneuvering troops does not work as easily as in the predecessors to Caesar IV. If a new version is on the horizon, perhaps improvement to ease of use could make meeting the challenges of the Emperor more fun rather than more frustrating.

I enjoy sim games a lot, and was a little scared off about this one due to so much news about crashes, incompatability, etc.

So, after installing it, I dialed all the settings down to the minimum resource consumption and away we went! The mouse lags, etc., are still present but are not anywhere near as bothersome.

It is a great game for systems thinking and leadership development. Along the way, you actually learn a little about Roman culture, beliefs and priorities. Even dialed down, the graphics are very watchable.

I must confess that I have not made it all the way to the end yet. I have "enjoyed the journey" a lot, though.

Spiffy

Its fun, challenging, and if you have played the previous Casears, slightly different because its more in a 3-D mode. However, the game does take a lot of the computer's resources and runs a little slow, even on new machines. I have a state of the art computer and had to turn down the games settings.

Maybe not for win vista!!!

Is a good game great graphics, but a little slow to play, the cursor moves slow and takes forever to get somewhere , tehe previous caesar III was faster. maybe because I' m playing it on wind vista, who knows

I have only played Caesar 3 and 4, but I think Caesar 4 is a much better improvement. There is only one major setback to this game, and thats the graphics.
I have nvidia 8500gt video card with 512 mb of memory with sli (2, 8500 cards), ati radion 5200+ (dual 2.6), and 4gb of memory and I can only play this game on medium graphics! This game has great gameplay and is very fun, but if you are considering buying it, have a powerful system to tackle the demanding graphics. Also, download the patch as soon as you can, for it fixes a lot of bugs which make the game crash. I have XP so I am not sure how it runs on vista but i'm sure its the same way. On to the good gameplay, there is a very long campaign, I play a few times a week and am still not done after 6 months. The tutorial is pretty good and you can catch on pretty quick.
The bottom line, check your computer before you buy this, and if you have a powerful enough computer buy this game it has had me enteratined for a few months now.

Great Game

I haven't had a chance to play this as much as I would like, but so far it has been great.

I wouldt recommend any sierra games because they are basically the same, you always have to fight to keep you city going and the graphics are lame.
