4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing value, but is it really?, 11 May 2007
By Mr. A. Sands "Sandsman" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
At the current price of £14.96, you could do worse than buy this fantastic box set. Especially when Civ 4 alone is currently being sold on this same site for the same price!

Whilst I think this does represent excellent value for a fine slice of PC gaming, it is fundamentally flawed. I have owned and played all of these games at some point in time before purchasing this, and they are all superb in their own right. The problem was then, and is now, that once Civ 2 came out, I didn't really play Civ. When Civ 3 was released, I never played Civ 1/2 again. Now with Civ 4 released, it is unlikely you will play any of the other versions (assuming your computer is up to it).

This is the only real problem I have with this box set. It does represent good value for money, and the booklet it contains is quite interesting, but are you really going to play the old games, especially the first 2, for more than a few minutes? Especially when you can play the much better looking (and better playing) 3 & 4.

It is more than likely that you will hardly play the first two games, and will play either 3 or 4 depending on your computer's specs. Saying that, 1/2 are small enough to probably sneak onto your work pc!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Brief History Of Civ ... in one box, 3 Sep 2007
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I love strategy games, whether they're real-time (Age of Empires etc.) or turn-based like Civ - this package brought back some misty-eyed memories of playing dodgy copies of Civ I and Civ II when I was at university back in the days when games came on floppy disks.

What we have here is basically a compilation of all the Civilization games, with a couple of expansion packs and a card game thrown in for good measure, and at a pretty unbeatable price to boot. Most people will probably be familiar with Civilizations III and IV, the latter being one of the most addictive games known to man, but the first two games are well worth a look if only because they come from a time when gameplay was evidently preferred over looks. Granted, they don't stand up to any modern games in the graphics department, but they more than make up for it in being almost terminally addictive. An added bonus, for me at least, is the 'Civilization' card game, which is surprisingly good fun once you've picked up the rules.

My only real gripe would be the lack of 'Alpha Centauri', which is a Civilization-type game and a logical follow-on from most of the original Civ games (Civ 4 in particular) and adds a couple of nice twists to the standard 4X strategy game. However, given that AC can be picked up fairly cheaply nowadays it's not that big a deal.

If you like strategy games, chances are you'll already have this pack or even all of the 'original' Civ releases. If you're wondering what all the fuss is about, this is a good place to start - you can't really go wrong with 4 games (4 games with replay value, yet) for 20 quid.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent games, but why own all of them?, 3 Jul 2007
By A. Pearce - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
As pointed out by other reviewers, this set is excellent value for money and includes a number of great games. All games in the Civilization series have been excellent; but as each one is essentially an improved version of the previous one, assuming your computer can handle Civ4 there is no real reason to own all four today.

It's also a shame that the boxed set does not include other Civilization-type games by the same makers which are fantastic, such as Alpha Centaurii & Colonization.
