Customer Reviews of Civilization 2: Test of Time
Civilization Rules! This... doesn't I love Civilization. I bought the original a week after it was out. I spent entire vacations playing it only. I upgraded to Civ 2 and played it even more. I am absolutely adicted to this game.
Then I bought Test of Time.
And I was severely disappointed.
The graphics make the game next to impossible to play. Plains look like deserts, forests are indisinguishable, units are blurry, and so on. The familiar flashing unit it replaced by four yellow lines around the base of a unit, so it takes several moments simply to distinguish which unit you are using. The city interface is more difficult to use, plain and simple. The layout and interface are confusing. The whole game is simply a dark indisinguishable mess, a far cry from the brightly colored, easily distinguished graphics of civilization and civ 2.
This game really does have so much promise conceptually. Its a shame its next to impossible toplay. For those of you who really want the next generation of Civ games, get Activision's Civilization- Call to Power, a game that blows this piece of @#$%^ out of the water any day.
Confessions of a Civ Addict
Hello. My name is Alex, and I'm a Civ addict.
Ever since the late, great Microprose released Sid Meier's Civilization, I have turned on my PC, plopped myself down on my chair and played countless hours...nay, eons....with at least three versions of this very popular and highly addictive "god game."
We all know this game by heart, otherwise we would not be attending CivAnon today. However, I'd like to make a few comments about this Hasbro Interactive version's virtues and vices.
What I like:
1. The new animated graphics. Sure, the old icons were good for their time, but I love watching and hearing my units fight in Animated mode.
2. Multiplayer capabilities were first introduced in one of the two versions I haven't owned (CivNet), and when playing against the computer gets boring, a human adversary is most welcome. The "hot seat" option is the way I've played it, since I am rarely online to play in the MSN Game Zone.
What I hate:
1. I'm not keen on the Fantasy or SF scenarios. Sure, they may be attractive to serious players who like those genres, but I am more fond of the 1996 Microprose version of Civ II and its historical scenarios.
2. Save/Load. This option DOESN'T work. Maybe I got unlucky and got stuck with a bad disc, but whenever I want to save a game and load it for a more time-efficient method of playing, all I get is really lousy graphics...like a corrupted version of the final Civ II release by Microprose but worse. There are lines of code on my screen and everything looks like a beta testing screen. Yuck. So if I play this game, it takes several hours (at best) and in one sitting. This makes everyone -- my girlfriend included -- very, very unhappy.
I still don't own Civ III, so this version will have to be in my library of games till the price comes down.
Yuck
A pale imitation of the real thing, basically a retread with bad graphics, muddy scenes, more bells and whistle with no real innovation, a waste of money
