Gotta compare it to vanilla CivIV, and with that comparison it's a solid 4 for sure. Compared to most games out there, though, CiV is a major success.

Well finally I kind of objective feedback of the fanatics. I was a bit worried seeing all the complainment thread, but in the end, most of the people love it or just think some patches are needed (which was always the case somehow).
3.5 out of 5.
The graphics are not organic and the rivers and roads look like crap.
My camps and wonders like to be underwater 50% of the time as well.
The game also crashes when I access the advanced setup menu about 50% of the time.
It's fun and challenging though and it has great potential.

I rip on reviewers for talking out their backsides without really knowing the game.
So, I'll refrain from voting yet. I'm still on my first game - it's taking an eternity since the AIs pissed me off and I'm taking them out.
Biggest surprise for me is that Hiawatha is ahead of me for tech and production and took out USA early on his continent and took out Ghandi's entire empire in about 10 turns when he went for Ghandi. Ghandi had the great wall and kremlin and got owned.
Overall, I like everything *except* the combat AI, which is very annoying since 1UPT and solid game rules should make for a good opportunity to do some good AI coding.
The combat is fun, for sure, but it'd be so much better if the AI used promotions, terrain, and range all together better.

Looking at a poll from the first week(?) of release seems nostalgic and surreal.

I gave it a three stars. I like it, but has some problems that could hopefully be fixed. Might never be Civ IV, but I'm sick of that so this is a fun replacement.
This poll shows all the extreme haters -- though by far the most vocal -- are actually in the minority.

2 stars for me. it was fun the first week, got a bit dull after that, kept trying to enjoy it and was of the opinion they will fix it up and it will be fun afterwords but ended up completely giving it up i now am back to civ IV after almost a 1 year break and enjoying it 
guess civ V is just not the game for me.
PS - after i went back to civ IV i realised that civ V will never be the game for me.

Woah. Why do we have to compare it to CivIV? Can't we all just rate it without such words!?
1 star.
Only played 3 games, will be waiting until at least next patch to try again.
I think likely it will get to 3.5 once it is finished but without serious design changes, which I have no reason to assume are going to be made (looking at these poll results and more mainstream approach), I cannot see it reaching 4 or 5 for me.
I am actually surprised by the poll results to be honest, and I could infer from this that the next patch would be enough for most people to be satisfied. Maybe Firaxis have actually got it right and Civ series is just no longer for me.

I gave it a 2. It has some interesting concepts, and some of the features are good, so I didn't rate it a 1. However, It doesn't ensnare me into wanting to play for any great length of time, which 1-4 did. I could continue with a host of other reasons, but it's been covered to death by the many other polls and threads.

I just popped in this forum for the heck of it. I haven't played Civ V since early October but am playing Civ IV right now. I give Civ V two stars, it is an uninteresting game with little staying power.

I'm giving it a 3 now, but I fully expect it could reach 4 stars with patches. Hell, 5 is possible too, but that really depends on what they do and how I feel about it a year or two from now, but I can't really say as to that...
For reference, Civ IV Vanilla would only get 3 stars off the bat too.
Also, about "what you're seeing," you've got to keep in mind, it's usually the people who really dislike something who are the most vocal. The ones who like it have little to complain about and are happily playing the game.

I know, I heard such things at this forum before. I guess nothing can be done to help me, so I'll have to live with my limited intelligence...
I gave it a 4, and I hope with patches, expansions and mods it will become a 5/5 game.
Nice to see a poll with non-biased answers, I missed it the first time so thanks to the one who bumped it.
