  Review of Civilization IV for PC
Civilization can with a turn, turn both your social, professional and biological life on a complete halt if you don't have the self control to be able to save and quit the game before you push 'End turn'.
I believe Civilization can be a very interesting multiplayer game; it opens up for some deep strategic decisions to be made, not just militaristic, but also diplomatic and cultural.
Civilization IV is in short, game design at it's very finest.

  Civilization (computer game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Civilization is a single-player game (although there was a separate multiplayer version called CivNet and both Civilization II and III have multi-player versions; Civilization IV, not yet released, has advanced support for numerous types of multiplayer games).
In this game of Civilization III, only a small portion of the game world has been discovered by the player, as can be seen by the much larger fl, unexplored area in the map in the lower left corner of the screen.
Civilization IV is being produced by Firaxis and is scheduled for release on October 24, 2005.

 Civilization video game - Wikipedia
Civilization is a computer game created by Sid Meier, in which the player is the ruler of a civilization of her choice, starting the game with nothing but an explorer and building an empire according to her wishes.
The game requires a fair amount of micromanagement (though less than any of the Sim games), requiring the player to choose which improvements or units to put in each city, as well as where to build new cities, and allowing transformation of the landscape in later years.
The player's towns are harassed periodically by "barbarians"; the game can be won either by destroying all other civilizations or by being the first civilization to colonize space.

All in all, the multimedia aspect of the game is relatively good, especially for a "thinker" kind of game.
In other words, what would be a fairly manageable war in the early game would be prohibitively expensive in the later game, when defensive technologies are more advanced and cities are well-fortified.
Therefore, even when you get good at the game there is a great deal of playability at higher levels, where challenges increase and the computer babies you less and less.

 AVault | PC | Sid Meier's Civilization III Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Given the vast lapse of time since Civilization was last seen, we must ask if Firaxis has managed to recreate the addictive qualities of the series, without compromising the gameplay to meet modern expectations.
Civilization has never carried a distinct storyline with it, which is one of its greatest strengths -- it allows the player to determine the "adventure" each time a new game is started.
Perhaps the biggest alteration since Civilization II is that units no longer have home cities, nor do they require production shields or food as upkeep.

The game begins in the year 4000 B.C., when your civilization is nothing more than a primitive tribe, and each turn progresses the game forward in time.
And because the game's negotiation process is very deep and involved, you may find yourself cut off from key raw materials if you're at odds with other civilizations, which, in turn, will weaken you militarily.
