Well, it's an okay review, if but slightly brief, and I'm really exicted for Civ4.
http://www.gamerankings.com/itemran...reviewid=592196
"Leaders of other civilizations also have a bit of a different activity level in Civilization IV. Here’s one to watch out for – we call it "getting smitten" There’s a certain Egyptian leader who might get a bit frisky with you when she really likes you; give her something at the height of her friendly favor, and she might not let you leave without angering her!"
I'm not sure how I feel about this.
"Visual representation of the leaders has been improved, with their animated busts showing up in the game when you interact with them. Likenesses to the actual leader have been made where possible, as even Alexander’s pompous attitude and butt-chin made it into the game. So far, Firaxis has managed to keep voice-overs out of the game for these dialogues, and we hope they do. Not only is it impossible to give a famous person a voice that every gamer will agree is correct, but it will also become one of those features that everyone clicks through, so why waste the development dollars?"
Butt-chin Alexander the Great? Now I'm really worried! I hope he doesn't get as frisky as Hatshepsut does...

I really doubt that person has played a build or even has a lot of a clue about Civ. He basically only comments on the stuff from IGN and GameSpot previews.

So, what is Civilization IV going to bring to the table to make it the next great accomplishment of the series? Many things, but the greatest is Civ IV’s launch into 3D graphics. |
Anyone who says that 3D graphics are the greatest thing about Civ4 deserves to be shot.
quote:
An interesting change in the development of Civ IV is the modification of how religion is used in the game. Gone are the days where you could merely discover religion, as Civilization evolves to let religion be the penetrating, viral social entity it exists as in human reality. |
News flash for that guy: in previous Civ games there was no religion! He's obviously confusing it with the mono/polytheism techs.
quote:
The incorporation of religion is still very crude, and as a result all religions are weighted equally |
It's a design decision, not a "still crude" thing.
quote:
Introducing concepts like medics and tile-based performance attributes modernizes the relational interface Civ IV uses while consolidating the attack/defense attribute scores. This makes Civilization IV more realistic in the existence of areas that are uniquely difficult or easy to defend, moving some of the tactical strategy from the units to the physical characteristics of the domain. |
Sure medic promotions are new, but terrain bonuses have been there since Civ1. And in Civ3, you could drop defensive units on a mountain in enemy lands and watch him suicide his army.

Hmm? We've only seen Alexander for half a second in the IGN video.
I have seen worse reviews, but this one's definitely up there.
