Civilization: Call to Power

Get Civilization III instead or even settle for Civilization II if you're short on cash.

User Rating: 3.4 | Civilization: Call to Power PC

By afratnikov | Review Date: December 3, 2004

I was waiting for Civilization III to come out so, being a fan of Civilization II, I got this game to pass the time -- it ended up being a big mistake. It is probably not as bad a game as i rated it: You can build cities, build soldiers, improve city tiles and so on... but it just very gets boring toward the end-game. It attempt to do too much (3 levels: space, earth, and sea) and yet as a whole, it is not as deep as Civ II. I'm comparing Call to Power with Civ II because that is the game it rips off... and it still isn't better. There is no comparing it to Civilization III -- Civ III is better, period.
