One of the best City Builders to date!
There's not a lot to choose from in City Builders, and I have just about all of them. Most of them fall flat on their face. CityCity Rome does not. If you like this genre, or think you'll like this genre, CivCity Rome is... Read Full Review

Engrossing. Wasn't too sure when I read the GS review but I am definatly a fan of this game. Roll on CivCity: New York..
When I first saw the initial reviews of this game I was a bit disheartend. I am a massive Civ fan since the first installment on the Amiga about 500 years ago. Since then I have bought every version out! This latest spin... Read Full Review

I can only hope for more CivCities named after other magnificent cultures in the future.
After a "light" Roman city building experience with Glory of the Roman Empire, I have to admit that CivCity Rome had a bit more of a learning curve. Quite a bit more. But that's not to say it was a chore to learn it. ... Read Full Review

Well, I’ve got to give it to 2K Games’ marketing department: They certainly made the best of a bad situation.

Another of the same type of game, but it is still pretty good.
Here is two of my favourite game companies getting together and making a single game. When I first heard about this, the news made me excited, then somewhat weary, then excited again. Firaxis and Firefly together at last... Read Full Review

From the fan of Caesar III
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 pre... Read Full Review

Got bored with it after creating a few cities, I also had some trouble placing Aquaducts down, overall not a bad game.
At first it looked like a pretty decent building sim, but unfortuntely I got pretty bored with the generic and typical missions, with no real action except the odd event which either made my civvies happy or angry. T... Read Full Review

This game is about planning and optimizing, finding the perfect city layout, and leaving room for expansion is the key.
This game does not deserve a 10, but I gave it one anyone because any sensible person realizes that such scores have no meaning. I will try to keep this review as objective as possible, and not complain about stupid th... Read Full Review

Could be a little better... could be FAR worse.
I went into this game with scepticism, wondering if the people who gave this game such a poor rating really sat down and played the game. Here's what I found: Although the game starts out with a boring beginning, a... Read Full Review

Come on Will Wright... You Can Do Much, Much Better!
I played this game three years ago. It was called Pharaoh and it was released in 1999. I found the graphics dated and uninspired - I mean for a game that is coming out in the year 2006 I at least expect a little razzle-... Read Full Review
