Sid Meier's Civilization V [Online Game Code]
Just to give this review some perspective, I've
been playing the various iterations of Civ for a very, very long time. I
remember playing the original like it was yesterday. Beavis and
Butthead on the TV, Nirvana on the radio, and me on my Packard Bell. I
spent hours in my mom's basement, wasting away from rickets while the
normal kids were soaking up the sunlight, going out on dates, playing
sports, and leading generally normal, productive lives. Civ 1 really
messed up my life...but in a completely awesome way.
I mean, I couldn't get enough. Doubly so with Civ 2. The things you could do with that game. It had...personality. I remember little stuff, like the different architectural styles, that gave the game such an immersive quality. I remember how every time I played, the world had its own story, and how things would seem to take on a life of their own. The endless war with the Mongols, my alliance with the Germans, butting heads with Caesar. I learned more about history there than I ever did in school. It was fantastic. I didn't even play to win most of the time. I was a fifteen year-old kid in a sandbox.
I got older, and Civ grew with me. I spend endless hours on 3 and 4, balancing game commitments and my real life. When Civ 5 was announced, I didn't hesitate. I bought it immediately.
In short, it didn't take me long before I realized that this new Civ was nothing like the Civ of old. I've never played Revolutions, but I've heard there is a lot of overlap. I don't know. What I do know is that this game is boring. Really, really boring. Never have I clicked the "next turn" button like I have here. Maybe it's because it takes forever to build anything...so long, in fact, that it's easier just to hoard gold and buy things. Read more
