2k Games got me. When I saw CivCity and the 2k Games logo I figured that it's from the makers of Civilization 4 and it will be great. Wow, was I wrong. Although the graphics looked good in the previews as well as the upcoming gameplay, it was a disapointment. The gameplay is very buggy, and the tasks don't keep you active. You can build and build, then wait and wait. When you are playing the game, the graphics are slightly choppy. Caesar 4 has better graphics and gameplay if you look at the side by side. So if you are looking for the latest in historical city building, I would pass this one and get Caesar 4.

This Game ROCKS!!!!!!!!

This Game rocks. i first played it over at my friends house and I was immediatly addicted to it. the game is great for building a city and the scenarios are cool. you can also build your own city w/o scenarios in free play. you can command armies and build a wonderfulo town by a river. you can trade with other cities and conquer enemy cities. overall the game is terrific and i would highly recommend you buy this product.

I have found little about this game I don't like so far. I find the game highly addicting for one thing. The artwork and animations are great, not to mention the game runs very smooth. The only complaints I have are its hard to target things at times, no strategy in the military aspect and it takes a long time to load. Other than that, its great!

Horrible

I bought this game because it looked interesting. It was on clearance for $10 bucks so I figured "good buy" but it was the opposite, I should have known that it was on clearance for a reason...I cant play it on my computer. I have a 2 yr old laptop that can play every other game I own, but this one makes it overheat and black out... I have only played for 5 minutes but from that five minutes it didnt seem too special. Nothing like Civ...

I've been playing this game for quite a while and as I said, it is an excellent strategy game. Although it does have some military action, it is very related to cities development. In some ways similar to Stronghold, in the sense that you have to build complete commodities chains.
I really like this game and recommend it to people who enjoy adding details to cities, and that would like to know more about Rome.

Keepin up with the Civ Name

This game is very fun to play if you are one who likes to focus on the city building aspects of a Strategy game. I have been lost for hours playing this game. However it does require a good vid card. MIlitary functions could be increased but im sure that it will happen in an upgrade.
Very Fun

Combat Bugs ruined it.

Well its a great game after the patch is installed except for one crucial area...combat.
Put it to you like this. Sometimes your troops will not engage the enemy. Period. They will stand close by and die by the dozen while one or two fight valiantly. Then try to control them and you never know what your going to get.
I had full legions at times that wouldnt even leave the fort! Its a known bug but are they going to fix it since it basically ruins gameplay? Do NOT pay full price for this its not a completed game yet.

The game had major potential in the fun department until I ran into this issue. The economics of it are intriguing and very well done.

Ancient Fun

This is just an awesome game. You learn a lot of the strategies as you progress through the game. It definately makes you think.

Starts out fun, but soon becomes impossible to play. You can never satisfy the town's people and although you are asked to build new homes for them, you have no more space to do so. A lesson in frustration...
