This is probably the best entry in Civ series. Considering when you have all the expansions. 8 out of 10.80Sean-M
Best of the Civs, an 8 for its time, even though the game play on the board with the tiles and army movement is quite limited (and the balance for the army part as well).80Wiebe
Very good and addictive game. Also very good in multiplayer. It has somewhat of a learning curve but stick with it.90Ydun79
Great game. First actual match I played I wasn’t paying attention, Walked through India and got demolished by Nuke-Gandhi. Full points for realism.100Darkatom
A thousand times better than Civ 5, a million times better than Civ 6. Definitely the best of the series, and nostalgia has nothing to do with it. Buy this game.100Errtai
This game is a great way to spend your time and is very rewarding. The American Revolution mod is a must-play and adds to the already great experience.80danielrocks
Still, by far, one of the best games in the series, and one of the best games ever made. Don’t play this game if you do not wish to spend hours upon hours conquering the world.100mc10

My truthful honorable incorruptible conclusive rating of this considered game: 5.50Yaav13
It’s always cool game to play. From year to year mostly graphics changes but in this case it’s good.70nazarkin123
Good game but failed historical background lowers my ranking. This game could give a lot education but instead gives only propaganda.50JakubTyszko
