This game is addictive and with the spread of goals a very long playing game to master them all.
I enjoyed this game for many reasons, some of which were merely the amount of characters from history that could be chosen, and the leaders chosen to represent the various cultures. You lead your people from the stone age, into the industrial age, modern era, and much much more.
The graphics are good and standard to the civilization series, not deviating much in either direction. The moves and transitions from the city mode to actual unit mode are not slow at all. When playing there is no load time and the controls are simple and easy to master.
This game is all about relaxing, taking your time, and letting whatever be that will be. For your first time around build wonders, and advance in technology as fast and as much as you can. Then build a united nations and rule them all.
Overall this game was fun, something worse spending the money on, a great way to get a ton of achievements with minimal time.
