Here is a list of all the reviews of Civilization II for the Macintosh I have found up to
date. If you know of any others, I would appreciate it if you drop me a line. Thanks.
Last updated: 12/31/99
Rating: 4/5
Where: Volume 5 issue 6, online.
Note: Online screenshot looks really bad. Review based on Beta version.
Rating: Spiffy ("A solid offering. Overall a good")
Where: July 1999 issue.
Note: Networking (LAN) and Multiplayer functions greatly improved with current patch.
Civilization II
Rating: Freaking awesome! (Highest rating)
Where: November 1997 issue.
Corrections: The reviewer states that to use PC scenarios you have to change the file creator type.
This is not true.
Rating: 9.8 out 10.
Where: Online.
Corrections: The reviewer states that the CD must be in the drive to play the game. This is not true. Actually the best game play is
with the maximum installation from the CD and then using the CD only for backup or to listen to the game music.
Rating: "Overall, Civilization II is not a bad game, though I don't agree with the huge reviews it has gotten from the PC community"
Where: Online.
My response: The reviewer claims the game's graphics look like 'rip offs of PC games from 5 years ago'. I know for a fact that the graphics were improved for the mac version. I guess you just can't please everyone.
