Summary: Great game for the strategists of the world
Comment: My title says it all, basically. This is not the type of game for those who just want to quickly build up an army and crush the opposition. This game requires a good amount of patience, but for anyone who likes to relive history, and build your own custom empire, or just to play a game that plays somewhat like chess, but also like a war game, this is for you. A very fun game for those who appreciate strategy.

Comment: It might be ok for windows but it didn't load on my macbook without significant problems.
Customer Rating: Summary: Same Old Civilization.
Comment: Civ4 is pretty much the same thing as Civ3. Nothing but hype. Buy Civ3 and save money. The game is very addictive so be careful, you still have to go to work and school, the kids still have to be fed. Once you drop a Nuclear bomb the tiny map in the corner goes haywire, that sucks. As the game progresses it slows down. Oh and Aspyr does a bad job converting the game for Macintosh computers. A lot of the hints that pop up are obviously meant for Windows computers. I am no computer wiz, but installing it was a hassle, only because i didn't know that i had to copy the game files from the CD to my HD. The installation instructions said nothing about doing that.

Customer Rating: Summary: Create your civilization then take over all others - too fun
Comment: Ok, I got to say that I was afraid of installing this game on my intel macbook I got back in May. I got the mid range model because I wanted something portable for class. Anyway, when I heard that Civilization IV wouldn't work on it because of the integrated graphics card, I was heart broken. I've loved this game for years since I first played Civilization II on my old PC. It made me hold back on my purchase for a while.
I gave in and I now LOVE my mac, way better than any PC I've had. Even though I wasn't supposed to, I got Civ IV and installed it at my own peril. I was shocked! The game worked flawlessly. It worked better on my mac than on my old gaming laptop. I really hope Apple improves the graphics chips on future macs, but the game worked perfectly.
So if you've got a recent macbook that isn't "compatible," give it a try. If you're a fan of the series you'll be relieved and enjoy hours of fun.
