From running your first city as it wards off waves of barbarians, to nuking your last rival civilaization's capital city into submission as it fears your sheer military might, there are so many ways to play this amazingly addicting game. You could be the scientific envy of the world as you are the first to launch your rocket into space, the always economically flourishing superpower, the militaristic fist of the world, or even the most cultural and visited city in the world. There's so many ways to play this game, and with so many different countries to play it with, this could provide many, many hours of playtime. The only gripe that could be said about this game is the fact that the trading system between other civilaizations could be a bit strange, as they could even refuse an offer where you give them free resources without them giving anything else, but aside from that, this game is just SO ADDICTING with a huge amount of replayability.

+ Huge replayability with its many civilaizations available to play as and ways to win
+ Huge importance bestowed upon you as you can run essentially everything in each city in your civilaization
+ Great military mechanic with army tax, advantages based on terrain, etc.
+ Detailed diplomacy scenes for each civilaization
+ Realistic advancements of time scaling with technological advancements
+ Lengthy games for each playthrough
+ Thorough settings to set up for each city in your civilaization
- In-game diplomacy can be a bit unfair
- When each game ends :(

Final Score: 9.9/10 (HIGHLY recommend this game, especially with the Complete Edition package, it's definately worth every cent and even more than that, especially with the Brave New World and Gods and Kings Expansion, along with the DLC.)
