Summary

Great game overall - Flaws unlikely to be fixed

The Good

Extremely addictive, epic multiplayer options. Decent AI, Decent sound/music. Really strong interface makes the game fairly intuitive to learn.

The Bad

Once you get into it, there are several large glaring bugs that adversely affect the enjoyment. Due to an exodus of programming talent from Firaxis games, these bugs are likely never to be fixed.

The Bottom Line

An expanded Civilization II with multiplayer and the ability to custom build units piece by piece.
