Customer Reviews of Civilization: Call to Power

Control Freaks Need Games, Too.
If you know someone with an obsessive-compulsive disorder, and you're tired of having them straighten the fringe on the rugs around the house, buy them this game. <
>The granularity of city and civilization control is overwhelming at first, but can be extremely gratifying if slowly squeezing AI opponents to jelly in an iron-mailed fist is your kind of thing. I own dozens of strategy games, city-builders, and sims, most of them newer than this one, but I always come back to Civ CTP. There is just something fascinating about the drive to thrive in CTP's unique and modifiable maps that can't be touched by, say, Civ III's over-simplified and restrictive environment. <
>If you are not of a meticulous turn of mind, and if you prefer short games, please do not play your daddy's copy of Civ CTP. You will advance from annoyance to frustration to destroying the CD before reaching the medieval period. <
>Even though the graphical display is ancient (late 90s), the color, beauty, and edge-matching of the map tiles is absolutely magical; this game was drawn by a fanatic. The wimpy, dull earth-tones of more modern games are very smooth, true. So is cold porridge. <
>Yes, the interface is bizarrely labyrinthine, occasionally intrusive, and very much a part of the challenge. <
>No, this isn't a "Civilization" game, per se. Civ CTP gameplay is much more involved, and consequently much less predictable than the run of turn-based strategy games.

Great game always come back to it my favou0ite -Tyler
I am 14 and This is a great game it took me a little while to figure out and the first time i played the tutitorial i got murdered in a couple of minutes but i was patient i gt the hang of it the things i like are: the future! come on! who did not ever what to rule the earth build space cities and build cities underwater (underwater cities are great if you make underwater mines they give you s much production) and yu can make leviathans which are part city part battleship part nuclear power plant too bad they are so slow the other units are so cool so is the great library which has 2 modes one historical one game play the historical just tells you what good and what is not but history tells you about the history behind the unit or advance or improvement which can actually teach you stuff (your parents will love that) it is really cool when you look at future history also this game also teaches you capitols because when you are at war with another nation you need to know which city is the capitol so you can capture it the bad things are: that nations end up hating your guts for know reason also say you just met someone and that you have gone to war and you find ut that they don't like you so you talk to them and when they meet you the call you murderous or stupid or some other name that you did not deserve the other bad thing i think is that you can only control the earth you can't go to the moon or mars this game is great others have said that civ2 is better after i gt this i played civ2 (it came whith some ther games fr free) i hate it it is pathetic compared to this civ2 can't go into the future! but also civilization call to power does not have any scenarioes but it does have a wonderful cheat mode he he he bottom lines is this game is great and it does nt sho blod or have violence and you get to build wonders of the world like the spinx or stonehenge the internet but don't ever ever ever build the AI Enity it may sound great but it will make the city that has it revolt and other cities also revolt it is so dangerous sometimes i build it and then nuke the city that built it!!!!

(...)!!!

No excuses buy IT!!

One of the 2-3 best games I've played
This game was recommended by a friend, who'd played all of the Civ games. It was my first experience of turn based strategy. And WHAT A BANG it made!!! I spent hours and weeks trying to win my first game. Then all of a sudden I was in such a position of power I was almost giddy. The concepts in the future years are amazing and a lot of fun.
This game promises to give hours and hours of enjoyment.
I've since played Sid Meier's CivIII, and while some of its concepts are more polished, somehow it's not quite as interesting as CTP.
I then went back to CTP (after CivIII) and found it a little less easy to play than CivIII. Some of the war battles happen off screen, such as the sinking of ships, which is a little annoying. But it's still just a bit more fun than CivIII.
CivIII's diplomacy is far more satisfying than that of CTP.
I am looking forward to the upcoming expansion for CivIII ("conquests").
