From the fan of Caesar III

User Rating: 4.3 | CivCity: Rome PC

Well... Played. Three times up to now. I was BIG fan of Caesar III in the meantime. And I was desperately waiting for something like that, not a Civilization, not other similar games, not the Pharaoh.
CivCity looks pretty much like upgraded Caesar III. Merely nice graphics, music also is ok - especially in the intro movie. But not the gameplay. You have many campaigns, but they are extremely boooring... I didn't get the idea why you as a governor, or whoever you are, have to jump from town to town, build new ones or restaure and develop already built ones. This idea lacks sense, IMHO. So, if you need something without battles and almost the same build-sell-win, as Caesar was, you'll like it. Maybe. Because it's soooo boooring. I hope Caesar IV will do the job.
