****************************************************************************

Opening Side remarks: Civilization - Sid Meier = Civilization - Civilization?

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Description: If you've never heard about Civilization, good morning!
How does it feel to be out of a 10 year long coma? Now really, I thought this 
game would suck because of the bad reviews it got. I was right\wrong. First
off, it is a good game. It still is Civilization. That's good. THE problem is
that it has super powerful units, like Slaver, or Subneural Ad. Slaver steals 
the population of an enemy city and turn them into slaves for their own cities.
NO, IT'S NOT COOL! I almost lost the population of 4 cities because of slavers. 
And to make  things even worse, They are invisible to everybody except diplomats 
and Abolitionists!All the super units are invisible to every other normal unit.
It's nice when you use them, but when you get hit by them, you get REALLY 
ticked off. Ok, after I talked about the bad part, now I'll talk about the good
part. Technologies from the future kick major ass. I mean it. Sea and Space
cities add a new twist. The PW thing RULES MAJOR ASS. The trading part is
kind of complicated at firstbut it is better than moving every caravan and making
new ones after every trade.

Liked: Future Tecnologies, and it feels like Civilization after all!

Hated: Super Powerful units ( Slaver, Lawyer, Corporate Branch)
****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: Beautiful graphics. Great unit details and nice map.

Liked: Everything

Hated: Nothing

****************************************************************************

Sound Description: Solid voices, nice Sound effects.

Liked: Everything

Hated: Nothing is "oh-my-god-this-game-has-amazing-sounds!" 

****************************************************************************

Play Control/ Game design: I Love the new interface. It is so much better.
Everything seems too complicated at first but after a few tries, it only gets
easier and easier

Liked: Everything

Hated: Nothing

****************************************************************************

Web Support: I haven't REALLY played this part very well, but the big problem
is that this game takes way too long to finish and it will be nearly impossible 
to finish it without everybody disconecting or leaving. And you will have 
to wait till everybody's turn is over to move your units again

Liked: It's here!

Hated: Everybody ends up disconnecting\leaving before you finish that game.

****************************************************************************

Improve: Make it harder to make Super units

RIYL: Civilization 1 & 2

****************************************************************************

Final Words: I don't know, I just don't seem so addicted as I was to the first
civilization. My Older brother is, though....
