It's looking good so far. But where's the little box that shows how close you are to completing a unit or building? What a silly little oversight by the developers. And what's up with the instant advice? It isn't very helpful. Why is it telling me I should build a temple to make my people content, when they are already content? All the marvelous and epic gameplay from the PC title is obviously intact but if you own the PC version, you have zero reason to get this one I've discovered gunpowder and my musketeers are making their way toward my enemies to the south.
Unfortunately, the Al "thinking" times are getting really long. I have to go to work. But I haven't slept or showered Ah, maybe I'll take a sick day and go to sleep now. Sure, just after a few more turns This is the perfect evangelist product for this kind of game on consoles. It may not have much superficial glitz or eye-candy, but the gameplay is absorbing and addictive and probably has more longevity than any other game on the system. If you've ever wanted to get into more cerebral strategy gaming, try this.
You'll lose days of your life. Don't be intimidated by the sizable manual, the detailed charts and the words "strategy game. Civ II is grand: You start out in ancient, primitive times with nothing and advance through the ages until you've learned space flight. Taking a nation through the paces of civilized history is something you just can't do in your average video game.
Patient gamers should check it out. I'm totally exhausted. I've played Civilization II every day for this past month and I still get amazed by the inner complexities of the societies created. I was a moderate fan of the first game, but the attention to the computer's Al is so much better now.
Your actions have deep impact over the cultures you encounter. It should be said you'll need to invest a lot of time into this game, but your patience will be rewarded. Civilization II took strategy gaming by storm earlier this year, and now MicroProse is back with an add-on disc jammed with intriguing new scenarios.
The original Civ II challenged gamers to take on the role ot the ruler of an empire, managing its politics, sciences, and social structure with the ultimate goal of taking over the world. Civ II Scenarios loads you up with 20 new plots, including the Iranian hostage crisis, the American Civil War, a futuristic holocaust and alien invasion, and the rampages of Alexander the Great and Napoleon.
Activision has converted the award-winning PC game to the PlayStation platform. Most of us have devoted hours sitting in front of the PC trying to build up our empire and enticing our subjects to give us a better throne room.
But those days were dealt a death blow years ago by real-time strategy games like Warcraft, Starcraft and Age of Empires. After the cities have grown to a reasonable size, it takes what seems like forever for the computer to complete its moves. I recommend having a book handy so that you can finish a chapter or two before it becomes your turn again.
I found the graphical interface extremely clunky. Once a unit was selected, the only way I could get it unselected so that I could move to other areas was to bring up the map view and then dismiss it. It would have been nice if the game didn't make you perform two operations for something that should only take one.
The PlayStation paddle comes equipped with enough buttons that this should be uncalled for. The game also seems to screech with glee each time it thwarts your attempts to move around and view the layout of the enemy cities and troops. Eventually I got so tired of trying to scope out the area that I just moved my troops in the general direction of where I thought I remembered seeing the enemy. The reason Civilization II on the PC became the number one selling game in history was because of the rich choices of civilizations, troops and strategy you have at your fingertips.
The game tests your ability to manage numerous troops. Civilization II does take a whopping 10 blocks of memory per game, which I suppose can be attributed to all the statistics it has to hold.
I have a pretty large TV, or at least it felt that way when my brother and I carried it in. But I obviously should have invested in a movie theatre-sized screen if I wanted to play this game. The graphics are too small, the user interface is clunky, and Activision missed a golden opportunity to take the best-selling game of all time to the next level. Well, ladies and gentlemen, it took a while, but Civilization II is finally out. And yes, most of the neat little improvements, bells, and whistles that were promised are in the final version.
However, that may not be as many as you are expecting. While Civ II is indeed a wonderful game, it is important that it be presented as simply the next generation of Civilization , not a radically new product.
Microprose has presented it as such, and to coin a phrase, if you liked the original you will love the sequel. Oh, what's Civilization , you ask? In case you have been in solitary confinement or were raised by wolves, Civ is quite possibly the best game of its genre of all time. In it, you are in charge of the management of a civilization hence the name , deciding how to expand, develop and progress.
At first thought, it sounds kind of like history homework. However, if you give it a chance, it really grows on you as millions of Civ addicts undoubtedly know.
In fact, I was amazed at the number of sleepless nights I spent trying to develop gunpowder or secure the Arabian peninsula. In fact, I don't remember ever telling myself "just five more minutes This is where Civ II really delivers. While there may be flaws in its execution, in general buying Civ II for a Civ or SimCity junkie is like passing bootleg around at the local AA meeting. It is quite addictive. Again, this depends on the type of game you like. If you prefer a warm shotgun over an Aegis cruiser or would rather study the finer points of using the BFG than negotiate with Mongol tribes, this game may not be for you.
But then again, it just might. If you have at least a passive interest in simulation, development, strategy, history or the like, I recommend this game. Not only does it give you a varying level of detail through auto-implementation options and difficulty levels, it also leads to a variety of strategies. For instance, do you give tribute to the cocky English in order to secure a peace treaty, or do you instead build better defenses and armies to take back what is rightfully yours?
Even if you do opt for the treaty, do you break it in order to secure a financial gain or will you keep your word in order to keep a clean reputation with other countries?
Microprose added a certain level of detail and realism to negotiation and other areas that were somewhat neglected in the original game.
One of the first things I noticed was that when I played as a vicious warlord, taking land and breaking promises, other civilizations soon learned that I was not to be trusted and treated me with disdain. I guess that was what I was looking for in the first place.
