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

Good Game, demands too much graphics

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.

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.

Maybe not for win vista!!!

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.

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.

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.

A Passing Game

Ever since I played Pharaoh and Cleopatra I have been addicted to city-building game and this game makes me smile. Despite some annoyances with rotation angles and the really small city maps (for the beginning missions)I enjoyed the new 3D look and if you have an awesome gaming computer, the shadows, lighting and passing day effects will look amazing.
Overall, I was not extremely hooked, but it's a game you can definitely play in passing.

This is a really good city sim/strategy game

I guess I've had it about a month. I read all the reviews before buying Caesar IV and was a bit worried about bugs and graphics requirements. I have a three year old Pentium 4 3.0 ghz processor with a half gig of RAM and a Geforce 7600 256 mb video card. The game runs fine on the factory default settings. I have not felt the need to look at or adjust them. The game great and plays perfectly. No crashes or video problems at all. I have not played online yet. I have played this game for hours without realizing how long it's been. It is thoroughly engrossing. I knocked it one star due to the time it takes to load up. Could be my machine though as my kids have put all kinds of online junk that may be slowing it down.

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
