"Don't believe the hype" pretty much sums it up, poor AI ruins this game.

While not nearly as enduring, addicting, or fun as Civ 4; Civ 4: Colonization offers a great experience... at first.
The Good: economic activity and trading incredibly fun, random gifts from the natives, transporting goods between cities surprisingly realistic, great graphics and beautiful score The Bad: not user friendly, steep lea... Read Full Review

This strategy game is full of upgrades that mostly get wasted on the monotony of researching them one at a time.
I will admit that this was my first time to play a Civilization game. I can see why the fans must like version 4. The game is filled with features that build upon the original concept in great detail. In fact, I was real... Read Full Review

Quite possibly the most addictive PC title ever, as well as the most impressive 4X Strategy game ever created.
I have never been a fan of the Civilization series. I was one for the Age of Empires and Total War games back when PC gaming became a bigger milestone in the history of videogames. Now that I have had a taste of what Fir... Read Full Review

Plays like a board game where the rules are a bit fuzzy - a very solid game without much replay value.

To describe this game in short words is like painting a masterpiece with dyed monkey feces- It's just wrong.
This game... I picked it up recently, remembering how much I used to play Civ 2, and reminded of it one day whilst playing the outstanding board game "Settlers of Catan." So I rushed myself back into the world of "... Read Full Review
