Could have been good, but ends up being another crappy strategy game

User Rating: 4.3 | Sid Meier's Civilization III PC
I bought this game with fairly high expectations. Everyone said it was a great game and Gamespot gave it a 9.2. Things get bad from the start. Gameplay is tedious and all too often your cities fall in anarchy, making them uncontrolled and they will not produce units. The only way to avoid this is to put more money toward entertainment, wasting what little gold you already have. The absence of any story mode leaves only skirmishes, which get boring fast. Sound couldn't possibly be any worse, with the same music all the time. It is an ok value, I bought it for 10 bucks on amazon, but i was expecting much more for the money. Overall, i would recommend it to people who enjoy turn-based games, but otherwise, skip it
