I picked up my copy a few hours ago. The >>>>ONLY<<<< "problem" I had was the disc labeling, which is easily fixed by just using the first disc to play off of. Anyways..
A lot of people complain that the interface/gameplay is bad. Well, heres why you might be thinking that: Sid Meier (obvoiusly) wanted CIV4 to take a new step and change things. He wanted it to feel like more of a RTS. A lot of the hardcore CIV fans are obvoiusly going to complain about change.
The game runs at a very,very smooth pace on my PC. That is, if I'm playing with about 5 CIVS total. Anything about 5 it starts to frame skip and get sluggish. Other than that, no problems.
This is a great game. It's the perfect change to CIV. CIV needed a good change anyways. Obvoiusly the game was most likely either rushed or mass produced, seeing as how so many people complaining about glitches.
I'm sure that Firaxis/2K will either make a new working batch, or (more likely this will happen) release a patch for the game.
For those who are wondering, this is my system:
Intel Celeron, 2.6GHz
512MB of RAM
128MB nVIDIA GEforce MX 4000
It's funny,because everyone who has a good computer can't run it. Yet here I am with a pretty crappy computer running it fine. Maybe it was ment to work on crappy systems?
