Customer Reviews of Sid Meier's Civilization IV
Only 3 Starts??? I can't believe this game only gets an average of 3 stars. It is one of the most complex, thoughtful, detailed, deep and addictive games ever released on the PC. I can't believe these people. Oh, boo hoo. It's turn-based. Deal with it!
A throughly involved game
I really enjoy this game and like other have lost track of time. I enjoy the multiplayer aspect and the graphics are great as well. This is a time consuming game and takes thinking and planning - for some it may be slow going since it is turn bases. There are multiple ways to win and many different play styles can be use, which I enjoy. Lot to check out and involved in the game - can be slightly over welheming of some one new to the Civ series, but worth the time.
Civilization 4:
I have played the Civilization series since Civ 1. (Believe it or not, my grandfather introduced me to the game - he must have played it since it first came out, but I started about 10 years ago) I have enjoyed every version of the game, but once I started playing Civ 4, I realized that I could never go back. Civilization 4 is my favorite of the Civilization series for several reasons.

>2. Careful balancing of the game allows one to play a Quick game or a Marathon game, as well as two speeds in between. The Quick games can be played through in one to several hours, but the Marathon games can last 20+ hours. The speed setting allows me to fit the game to the time I have to play it (though I'm starting to prefer Marathon to the Normal speed I was playing).

>3. Perhaps the most valuable thing the developers of Civ 4 did is make the game easily moddable. If you don't like Civ 4 the way it is now or wish some feature were included, odds are you can find a mod to meet your desire. Whoever made the decision to make Civ 4 easily moddable should get a raise - Civilization 4 could literally be the turn-based game to end all turn-based games, because whenever you get tired of playing a certain way, you just have to download a mod to get a new experience. In certain cases, the game can be turned into something else completely.

>Also, consider buying the expansions for Civ 4. I have Warlords and will buy Beyond the Sword after I play my money's worth out of Warlords. Both expansion packs (but especially Beyond the Sword) will entertain you for hours and hours, late into the night. FYI, I've gotten 6 or less hours of sleep the last two weeks for that very reason.
