Great Game
Por fin un juego de estrategia, tipico de PC, es posible jugarlo con el xbox... excelente eleccion,,,

Great simple game
This game is a great game that doesn't require alot of thought to have fun with my only problem with the game is it takes forever while playing online.

Love all Sid Meier Games
While this game runs similarly to many of the Civilization group of games, it has a different perspective, different goals and methods. While familiar in game play, there are new things to learn and new challenges for those who enjoy Civ.

Really awesome strategy game.
This game isn't about a story line. It's about strategy and lot's of it. It's about as straight forward as you can get. The Easy mode is what I'd suggest for people who want to either get acquainted with strategy games or just not think, but still play this genre of game. It gets harder only a reasonable amount as you go up in difficulty. There is no split screen, but you can easily connect online to somebody for a head to head match. All the fun facts that are in the game a pretty good bonus I'd say. You don't need to know the history behind the things, but it's just enough information to remain interesting. Overall, you really can't go wrong with this game unless you're going for achievements and you are really horrible at strategy games. Maybe the worst part is that you can spend hours on the game and not notice it. lol

Unsure if it's a worthy buy
I agree with much of what many say about the game's short length. It's definitely addictive, fun, but most certainly NOT price-worthy. From a novice into the civ games, I enjoy the gameplay alot but yet still have difficulty grasping certain concepts. But, regardless, the game needs to be longer...or at the very least give players the option of extending it to unpredictable outcomes. So I'll return my rental in a day or so, but probably won't buy it afterwards.
