I got this game and then I got the expansion, you cant play with expansion without this,but after playing the expansion you dont need this anymore.

Civ 3 Interesting, but poor user interface

I know that Sid Meier is supposed to be a genius at UI, but the UI gets in the way of this game. It is sort of a real time, but turn based interface. When you get halfway thru this game, the number of cities and units that you need to control are large so that the games starts to bog down in piece management. You can't tell which piece has moved in the current turn, and you can't stop the automated action to move a unit or stop the preprogrammed movement of a unit which makes any coordinated attacks very difficult. You start to think about how to get around the UI instead of thinking about the game. This is really too bad because the game has some great ideas. The game takes a looong time to play, and in my opinion, not worth the effort.

Great...for a while

This game is pretty fun, but it takes ao long just to finish one game of it. It is also amazingly dificult to win the easiest setting. It is also very much like a board game. But it is ausome besides that.

disappointed

I thought it would be easy to play like Age of Empire or Command and Conquer, but it was difficult to do things and I lost interest very quickly.

AWESOME (with some flaws...)

Got this the day it came out. The store did not have the regular version in stock, so I bought the special addition. I have been looking forward to this for a LONG time, as I am sure many of you have been. I will glance over the positive first - game is great - more or less same as before - which is what everyone wants. BUT, the game crashed on me once so far. It is also VERY slow, and I have a very fine machine (P4, 1.4MHz, etc.). These two quirks, sadly, upset me, and I think that others should be made aware of them. Perhaps a fix will come out over the next few months. The game is great, as shoudl be expected, but perhaps some more QA time should have been applied.

I liked Civ II a lot better

There are some things to like, and some not to like...
The new graphics are not all that better - in fact I think it makes it harder to see what's going on. The game tries to do a lot of stuff "Automatically" for you and actually makes it more difficult for you to do what you want. On the plus side - the game does make some good choices most of the time.
The diplomacy is much better and the computer is a much smarter player than in the past.
It's a good game - but I think they could have done a lot better by keeping what was good with Civ II and adding in just the diplomacy and the improved AI.

Civilization 2 v3

This is quite literally Civilization 2 with modifications. They've revamped the interface on the game to make some parts slightly confusing and difficult to get used to and to stop it from looking exactly like Civ2.

As in Civ2 the game grips you. I am currently hooked on it. It's that kind of game. Once you've completed however it's going to all of a sudden become uninteresting because overall there just isn't enough. Exactly what happened with Civ2.

It's nice to play such a game again but I don't feel it's worth buying if you've got civ2. If you are a fan of Civ2 go and buy it, but I reckon you should hold on to your money and wait for something else if not.

Think twice.

I was so excited to get this game that that is all that was on my mind for weeks.
I was happy to see them combine a the best of 1 and 2 in this game. But I was a little disappointed that they took out some of the technologies of the past and they took away the video clips of wonders as they are built. I thought that was one of the great things about Civ. 2. I did think the diplomacy is much better. you don't have the problem of bleeding heart liberals amongst your democracy stopping your wars.Congress can't override you when you decide to start or continue a war.
Overall I will still spend hours playing this game, and then hours making up to the wife and kids after they feel I abandoned them.

Keeps me up late

This is a really challenging and addictive game that has tons of options for the player to tweak. The included editor is a neat tool, too. I would highly recommend this game to players that like strategy games. A patch will be coming out before Christmas, too, so the few minor bugs should be addressed soon.

This is my favorite game of all time!
