The old square grid that made up the map has been replaced with a hexagonal grid that makes navigation a bit more intuitive and helps to make the terrain look more believable.

The most immediately noticeable change in this game comes in the form of the new unit-movement and combat system. This new Civilization is still immensely fun, and it still retains that 'just one more turn' addictive nature. But some of the improvement and changes that have been made are shear genius, and will make it very difficult, if not altogether impossible, to go back to playing any of the previous Civilization games. Despite their promises to the contrary, lead designer John Schafer and the group at Firaxis have sadly sacrificed some of the franchiseвЂ™s depth and level of detail in an attempt to try to make the game appeal more to a casual audience. But that first group - the long-time fans - will probably also find a lot of things to not like. Long-time fans of the series, general strategy fans, and complete newcomers to the genre should find plenty to like with this game. Well, unfortunately, that answer is a bit more complicated than a simple 'yes' or 'no.' Even if you havenвЂ™t already seen my final score, I want you to rest assured that Civilization V is a good game.

IвЂ™ve been spending almost every free moment playing this game for the two weeks since release. This was despite my misgivings about the vendor and edition-exclusive gameplay content - gameplay content should NEVER be exclusive to a vendor or edition of a game anybody who buys a game should have the right to play any content that is released for the game (even if they have to pay extra for it) regardless of where they got it or when they bought! But now is not the place to discuss industry politics - IвЂ™ll save that rant for another day.Д«ack on-topic: Civilization V promised a lot: competitive, tactical combat with a totally new rule-set intelligent, interactive AI leaders a simpler, streamlined interface and simpler, more streamlined gameplay without sacrificing any of the seriesвЂ™ trademark depth.

My hopes for Civilization V were sky-high from the moment the first details of gameplay were revealed about a year ago. The only games that IвЂ™ve probably logged more hours with than Civ IV are the Sims 2 (plus all the expansions) and the cumulative sum of all the Madden games IвЂ™ve played since 2000.

Civilization IV, however, is probably my favorite video game ever - or at least, my favorite PC game. I didnвЂ™t start playing the franchise until Civilization III (after it had already been out for several years and both expansions had been released). I want to put my review into perspective before I begin.
