Civ4 - Review & Trailer

[Freakin]

IGN Review

Official Trailer

I've never been so excited for a game to come out. This is going to destroy my income.

It'll probably take me a good 6 hours before I get back into the swing of things, and even more to figure out all the new units & buildings.

It looks like they actually did away with the Attack/Defense ratings, and it's now only a strength rating. That interests me more than the religions, personally.

Does anyone have this preordered yet? When are you expecting it (supposedly going to be in stores tomorrow).

The multiplayer is also supposed to be pretty streamlined (finally) and you can play in a variety of different ways (like by email and [censored], apparently).

Here's a few screenshots

My income will be cut in half at best.

That's an expensive game, given your PT screenshots.

I have it pre-ordered. Of course, my [censored] PC died last night, so will have added time and expense before I can play it. ARRGGH!

I'm definitely getting it. The "other" game I play will have to be put on the backburner for awhile. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Why did you have to remind me this was coming out? [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I would have forgotten.

Doh, title says review, but there's no review!

Frys Electronics/outpost.com has this on sale for $37.99, I think the ad said.

I'm interested in seeing a real review on it, if anyone wants to do one, when it comes out. I'll go check out the IGN review.

I like the Civ games, but they take too long for my tastes. I'll probably skip this one unless it sounds like it plays shorter than Civ 2.
