I had never played any Civ game until about 3 years ago when a friend I work with found an old copy of CivII for the PS. He had loved the game and had not played it for a while. The more he described it, the more I wanted to try it. So I got a copy and have been playing it for the past 3 years.
Previously, I had been a fan of various rpgs, but had stopped playing them as much because I got hooked on the NCAA Football and Madden games. But Civ II is a game I play constantly...and I love it!
It took me a while to get to the point where I could win at the deity level, especially the space race. I never tire of it and even though I have been tempted to buy the PC versions, I haven't. Mainly because I would much rather be in front of the big screen than sitting in front of a PC.
I even bought an Xbox 360 recently, mainly to play Revolutions (to be fair I also got it for the better versions of the football games I just mentioned). Revolutions will be the very first game I play on it because I bought it on Amazon and had the console and game shipped together. I should be getting it Monday and am really looking forward to it.
I came to this board and I am very disappointed to read that the game will not be as in-depth as most of you are used to. Having played only Civ II, do you think I will enjoy it or did I just waste my money.
I just signed on this board as a new member, so be gentle with me.
