I had a very well-timed vacation to Europe, which involved a visit to Italy. So I was able to get the Italian version of the game for XBox 360 (which, interestingly, features Ceasar rather than Napoleon as the center unit on the cover of the box). I was afraid I still would not be able to play with the game being in Italian, but I had a short layover on my flight back in London, where I was able to pick up an English version of the game at a gamestore at the airport. I was thrilled. As it turns out, both game disks play just fine on the 360 with no problem with region coding, and both play in English (probably due to the language preferences I have set on the XBox). (The instruction pamphlet for the italian version is, of course, in Italian, but you don't really need it.) So I have been playing away. (I suppose I could mail my extra copy to some deserving soul -- or if anybody lives in the SF Bay Area, they could pick it up from me . . .)
The game does not really compare to Civ IV, which provides a much richer game play experience. But it is fun to play just for a change of pace, and the faster game times make it easier to pick up and play a quick game. Deity level is not nearly as difficult.
