CivIII is awesome. I played the first Civ, missed out on CivII, and have played CivIV. Without a doubt, CivIII is the best one. The added elements to CivIII make it even more enjoyable. I thought the added elements to CivIV were too much. I didn't like it. So, get CivIII.

A Very Good Game!

I enjoyed playing this game it looks great but the lag is that it takes hours and hours of my time to play...Sorry to say but I finally got sick of it and trashed it...it is now just sitting on my desktop! But before I got sick of it it got 5 stars now maybe a 3...

Hey all you kids out there! Why don't you take this roller coaster ride. I've had this game for a year now and I still can't waste a second to play it! No, really. Try it out some time this year or get it for christmas.I just have to tell you something, the instruction manual is 1 inch thick or 350pages long(I'm not sure if its 350 pages or not! Maby more!). But hey it gets the job done. Just to tell you something, I didn't use the manual. If figured it out in just 1 and 1/2 hours(I'm pretty sure the manual would take longer to read). That shall be all.

An Interesting But a Long Time Game Useful for Vacations

I loved the game it was the best with all the ways to win and the real life set up.I loved how you get to be diffferent civs and don't have to be the same person everytime. The best part of the game is though that you can customize it and add stuff to you like mods which are basically like expansion packs except created by kids and are usually quite interesting.

Best Sim Out There For People Who Actually Enjoy a Challenge

Civ III is the best board-game I have ever played (and that's saying something). It is also the most interesting sim-style game I have come across. This game is not for the weak of mind or heart.

Game play can be tedious at times, later in the game, when your civilization grows large, and the game as a whole actually requires some thinking and strategy to play.

All in all, if you are the type who likes to play a game for fun...and likes an actual mental challenge, this game is for you.

CIV III - Boring

I thought it would be much better than Age of Empires, but I was wrong. Just as in that game, you can never find a winning scenario. I don't know how some of these psople wrote reviews on winning and becoming supreme deity status. The game is slow, there is no diplomacy between nations. Everyone of them declares war on you. All of the opposing civ's reach higher status than you. The other problem is you always run out of resources and are down to 0 gold before you know it. You can't customize policies with other nations and they all want to blackmail you into giving up all of your gold.

I like Medieval better. Not as much detail but far better strategy game.

Lm's idea of the game

I thought that civ3 would not have enough to leave civ2 collecting dust, but i found that the new additions and amazing improvements have made civ3 an outstanding game that can be played over and over again. Another 10 to Sid Meier

Wow!!

I love this game and it's not even mine (it's my brother's).I hate instructions so I never read them.This game is easy enough to figure out but I'm still working on it (I have to ask my brother some questions).I'm one of the people who likes the Sims but this is way, way, way better!!I'm going to buy this game when I get my own (better) computer.Also, I was planning on getting a bunch of Sim games for when I get a computer but now I've changed my mind.This game isn't too addictive but it will take some time.
