Come on Will Wright... You Can Do Much, Much Better!
I thought the mission explainations given by the "roman govenor" extremely poor - I felt sorry for the voice actor who had to read that garbage over and over again in his voice recording sessions. The gameplay was tiresome and generally uninteresting, especially the tutorial sessions which took forever to explain the simplest of details. The score and sound effects were average, so nothing to write home about on this category either. Overall, I was very disapointed on every aspect of the game - don't waste your money. But if you did, like me... read below.
I expected much more from a guy who created Civilzation. I personally traded the game in at EB Games and bought the expasion pack to CiV4 which did make me feel a little better about my original purchase.
