Terrible, absolutely terrible. If you are a fan of the main Civ series, which has captivated us for decades (besides the DLC scams of Civ5)....this is not what you are looking for. It is not Civilization, but more of a "Civ:Farmville". To gain culture, science, money, you have to play childish picture games, railroad mini games, and complete mazes!
The most despicable part of the game are the constant notifications for "CivBucks". Expensive to purchase in-game dollars, that give you slight bonuses to let you continue completing the kids mazes. This disgusted me more than Civ 5, $5 for 1 Civ DLC.
My advice on how to fix this beta, would be for Sid to take his name off of this game because it completely tarnishes everything the series has accomplished by making it simply a joke. People were upset when the game was "dumbed down" for Civ Revolutions, but in Civ Farmville, it gets much worse.
Sid Meiers, after spending hundreds of dollars on every new game of civ/expansions, and enjoying the thousands of hours I have had playing them, I am forever leaving this series, and never purchasing anything with your name anywhere on it. The DLC scam of Civ5 and Civ:Farmville shows that you no longer care about your product, but instead you focus on monetarily raping all your customers. **** YOU SID MEIERS!
