So, I was getting a bit bored with Halo: Reach and figured I'd pick up a new game and I've always liked Civilizations so I picked up the newest one. It's actually pretty cool. I'm going to have to compare it to the other civ games or else this post is going to be massive. :)
The graphics are improved immensely to start and I like the new battle system, it focuses less on building an army that could literally take up every space on the map and move on being able to use the army you have to take out cities. Two armies can no longer occupy the same space, which is more realistic (in terms of physics) and it's easier to keep track of what you're up against in terms of defense or offense.
Cities now defend themselves and gives you a fighting chance against those overly agressive people who like to come in and take over everything before you even have a couple troops to defend yourself with. There are new buildings, new leaders and the addition of City-States that are basically midway between barbarians and NPC players (they're there, but they're small and you can have diplomacy between them).
Other than that, it's basically the same as other civ games, you start in the ancient (BC) era and you work on building a civilization by improving your technology, your diplomacy, building cities, gaining territory and finding a way to defeat the enemies which can be done diplomatically, militarily, by being the first person to launch a space shuttle into space, by having the highest score (Most territory and such) by the end of the match (which can consist anywhere from 200 rounds to over 1000 rounds and ends in the year 2050) or by having the most culture (so much that other civilizations want to join yours)
