    negative review (preview)

    I was reading the reviews at Amazon.com, this one seems to be the only negative one.

    Civilization3, a game?, June 12, 2001
    Reviewer: Mohammad Al Qattan (see more about me) from Kuwait
    As you'll probably know, civilization continues and here's the newest version of the game known as civ3. Now don't get too excited about this game, as more often, you never know how it will end up as. I know, i know, it's enjoyable but just like civ1 and 2 were, i don't really think civ3 will make any difference. Gameplay and graphics changed a little bit from civilization 1 to 2. But overall, everything is the same. Whoever made this game is a person who likes to cheat people into buying this game and wasting their money on some garbage. I'd suggest buyers think more often about the sims and simcity 3000 and if they have these games, they should be thankful to themselves. Thank you.

    The person obviously isn't much of a civ fan, why else would he tell us to play simcity instead?

      Obviously he just looked at the "III" at the end and assumed that it was just a "polished up" version of CivII. Of course the game is going to resemble CivII in some ways! I wonder when an intelligent review will come in.

            Because there are always sheep. If you look at it on its face most people who play one of the Civ games will never set foot in this website and wont have any knowlege of what is in Civ3. Morons like that guy can do alot of harm to those sheep.

              For someone who apparently doesn't like games that are 'mindless rehashes' of previous games, he doesn't seem to be paying attention. SimCity 3000 is much similar to SimCity 2000 (and even the original SimCity) than Civ3 is to Civ2. Don't you agree?

                I am one of the truly blessed, having been an (unofficial) beta-tester for CIV III. Those who discovered a new meaning for life via engagement in CIV I or II will not be disappointed: for the newest installement contains the essence of the old versions (which made the game the most talked-about of its genre, ever!), with selective (and impressive) upgrades...skill-wise, graphics-wise, diplomacy-wise, combat-wise, resource-wise, history-wise; all of course allowing on-line play. The product's performance, even at the Beta-stage, was very good (or rather, outstanding, if one compares it to the appalling reliability offerred by any Microsoft product...
                Hmmm now this one makes me wonder.

                    Ah! A review from someone who is qualified to give a review! And it's good news for MP fans, although quite a shame nothing more was used to describe it than "online." Personally, I think the MP will be the most surprising feature of the game. Why else would Firaxis keep it secret?

                      um, what IS an UNOFFICIAL beta tester? Did someone raid the Firaxis offices and steal a beta or something?

                              Don't forget to pick up the ski mask, duct tape, rope and switchblade. They'll come in handy when trying to get info. And a tape recorder so we can hear what he says. And before you leave, check his computer for any beta versions of the game.
