"The Greatest Strategy Game Ever
I don't think there was much doubt that Civilization IV was one of the greatest strategy games of all time, but Beyond the Sword removes all doubt, placing this franchise on a pedestal where it stands alone. With its expanded Epic Game, 12 new scenarios, tons of mods from the community, 10 new civilizations, 16 new leaders, corporations, espionage, random events, 5 new wonders, enhanced space victory, Apostolic Palace diplomacy and enhanced AI, this is the best $29 you'll spend all year. Though there's nothing here that will convert people to Civilization who didn't have an interest before, long-time fans will be richly rewarded. Civilization IV, along with it two expansion packs, stands tall as a digital masterpiece."
