If you are a fan of city building games like Caesar III, Pharoah, Zeus or Rise of the Middle Kingdom then CivCity: Rome is most likely a great choice for you. The gameplay is easy and the possibilities are endless. Of course you usually need to complete things in the right order and have a certain layout to achieve the goals set forth. Some things have been said about the controls for the game. Occasionally the cursor does not line up to where the mouse actually is. It took me all of about 30 seconds to get the mouse figured out so any complaining on that part is just something that doesn't need to be done. The graphics could be better, but aren't terrible, they just don't compare favorably to games like Ages of Empires III. If you are looking for a quick city building fix that isn't too in depth or complicated this game is for you. If you want an extremely deep involved game, this just isn't it and you would be better off with Caesar IV.Read full review
I think this game is easy to learn and to play. After about 30 minutes, I was able to play with ease. I enjoy that the game is continuous and NOT "turn based" (which is wonderful for a one player game, in my opinion). I also like that this game allows a player to choose a military or peaceful campaign. The game allows the player to select the difficulty level. Each level allows different options (like you can get aqueducts/piped water, boats, to your city). The graphics could be better, and it can get to be "same old, same old" after a while, but I really enjoyed playing this game.
The CivCity series have always been interesting to say the least. They offered a unique city building game without focusing on the drudgeries of the wide scale affairs of other games. However, despite focusing all of their attention this time with CivCity: Rome, the game fails to offer anything new at all. The interface is horrendous, quite possibly one of the worst I have ever seen in any RTS game. To top it off, the game doesn’t seem to ever work correctly. For instance, how come it is almost near impossible to gain enough food for your citizens to stay alive, yet you NEED to get more citizens in order to stop your population rating from dropping. These types of frustrating issues, couple with the fact that sometimes you are not allowed to trade with neighboring territories (for what reason I do not know), and a half-baked graphics department, Civ:City Rome is a huge disappointment in a series that has always been above average.Read full review
My bookworm 12 year daughter actually purchased this. But my husband opened it first and he was on it for several hours before he would give it up. My 12 year old daughter plays it every other day right now and is really enjoying it. My 10 year old son actually played it, too. He begs her to play it everyday now. I think it's very relaxing, like building a puzzle-only it's alive! Great good, clean entertainment. Great for developing great problem solving skill, too.
They have come along way since I played my first Sid Meier's Civilization in 1991! I'm a history buff, and have been to Rome, and studied Roman and Greek Architecture. The graphics on CIV CITY: ROME are so amazing,... I often forget that it is computer game graphics, and I'd swear I was watching the real characters! The Elephants fighting lions in the coliseum look so real! And to be able to actually go inside the buildings, and temples,... the attention to detail is amazing! What can I say,... I love this game!
