An improved civ, but where are the wonder cinematics?
There are natural wonders, better graphics, better interface, it is more artistic...but there are no more videos when you build a world wonder, severely crippling the feeling of reward for doing it, there is only a image and a phrase now...
Has minor but annoying sound issues sometimes, the controls aren't optimized for mac keyboard (specially controlling helicopters) among other things; I would say it is just playable.
The person I bought this for said the game was very good, but which she missed the university stuff which teen sims could do in The Sims 2, and also missed more options for teen sims interactions.
Congratulations to Feral and Robosoft, this game is not only properly converted to mac, but it features additional content and integration with OS X; there are almost no bugs from start to end, and the ones there is are insignificant. Shame on you Aspyr...
The person I bought this for said it was very simple, previsible. Good if you do not want a complex travel agency game; it is quite the same as sally's spa, but with better graphics.
It has a poorly designated city UI and this is an almost completely diferrent game from Civ 4, probably a heavy mod turned into a standalone game, it will take quite a time to get used to how the game works different from Civ 4. You can even play this without civ 4. Kissing the king of france ring was fun thought.
It is like the other guy review about broken sword 1 here in the store, the new graphics don't mix with the old ones(which are massively present still, movies included), there are a few really low quality audios(and musics being cut suddenly) throught the game, it crashs often too, please do a proper remaster before puting the remastered label on it.
My sister said the game was enjoyable, and asked me to give it 3 stars, she likes simple games and hates complex ones, so if you are not interested in a complex, long spa management game like some sim games(the sims, sim city...) this game might give you some fun.
Have a serious save bug with my 2011 imac 21,5''(fully updated), where if you start a game and later load a previously saved game, when it is opened the speed of the game will be almost 0 fps until you close and reload the whole Civ IV BTW; and some minor usability(with magic mouse) and UI problems, and there will be no patch for that.
