Killer strategy

This is the best game I've ever played. Unfortunately, I'm used to playing it on the PC, and Playstation versions seldom compare in scope. Still, Civilization is a lesson in history that will lose you in a world entirely dictated by the economic phrase "opportunity cost". It's amazing in its intricacy, and the possibilities appear endless. I actually feel as though I am learning every time I restart the game and lead another civilization through the ages. It's a must own for anyone who has grown tired of the fast-paced arcade style games that have made the Playstation famous.

the game civilization 2 is on my top ten list. it is fun if you have a lot of time for it and it's fun if you don't. you will never get tired with this game and it'll keep you at it for hours and you'll probably get it taking away or something, that's how good it is. i guess all i gotta say is buy the game cuz you won't be disappionted.

you can become king of the world!!!

I give this game a bit over 3 and a half stars. I've never played the PC version but was turned onto this version by Civ devotees. In the game you contol a civilization from 4000 BC-2020 AD and make decisions based on how you want to your empire to grow (much like others reviewers have said). Most likely you are familiar with the basics so I'll cut to the quick. Sports and strategy games are my favorites. They just entertain me more than mindless kill frenzies (although GTA is a truly entertaining series). This game is a fine stategy game and I will some day check out the (suposedly superior)PC version because I enjoyed it so much. That said, the graphics border on being quite lame and at times (especially when other empires are integrated as you move along) game play seems to slow to a halt. You can also master the lower difficulty levels in no time and the whole thing could become boring if you just need to see blood and crash cars. Yet, there is something about this game that keeps bringing me back and I don't even know what it is. It can be great fun (especially with a few cd's in the changer to distract you from the length of the game) and it is one of the best games I've ever played. Why??? All I know is that it's more addictive than chocolate covered crack and a few dozen times more entertaining(and healthy). I'm currently trying to ween myself off of it because it can just eat up the hours. Maybe there will be an improved version for the PS2 that can rob me of even more of my free time. (There is a cheat that allows you unlimited cashflow: name a city _CasH and enter the H while pressing the R1 button at the same time. Try it without the cheat for a while,as the stuggle is much of the fun. Then use the cheat to make the rest of the world your plaything.)

this is an excellent game!!

First thing to do, raise luxury taxes, lower income taxes.

1 player.
Best strategy game ever.
If game load fails, buff disc.
Recommend playing tutorial first.
Educational, vis-a-vis cultural evolution.
Paying tribute to others speeds up progress.
First think tank to "PHILOSOPY" gets important freebie.
Later in the game, save after each turn or you will be sorry.
Cheat code; name a city _CasH (hold down R button while entering capital H).

If you like this game try the movie: The Sum of All Fears (Special Collector's Edition)
If you like this game try Super Nintendo P.T.O.
If you like this game try Allied General

Sold-seperate companion: Sony PSOne Console

You're gonna think this is funny, I got this game Dec. 25, it's now May 1 and I haven't finished it yet, ONE GAME! I conqured the world a long time ago, & sent a spaceship up and, like the game, it just kept going and going...Rent it, but Don't buy it!

Definitley an Intelligent game - but painfully slow moving

This is not a game for the impacient. Normally, If I dig into a game I know will take a long time solve, it has to motivate me with an interesting story line, music and or graphics (an RPG like FFVII or VIII for instance) However, If you are interested in a complex and super challenging strategy game, this may be for you. Too bad they never made Age of the Empires for PSX, and warcraft psx is really hard to find!!

This is a fun game to play. It's very addictive, so don't start playing unless you have at least an hour to play. This game is a lot like the game RISK But a lot more detailed. If you like strategy games then you should get this game. now, stop reading and go get it. hurry up dude.
