Just checked out the "report" down at civfanatics. Not much to report really. Just standard game reviewers fluff, only about three paragraphs of it, not saying anything.

Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

Liked this quote:
"Got my butt kicked on the lowest difficulty level. "
We'll be hearing that a lot in the coming months. Damn amateurs!

What did he like most about it? What did he like least? And why?
What surprised you most about it? These are the kinds of things that should be discussed in a review.
We need a real reviewer to do a real review.Eine Spritze gegen Schmerzen, bitte.Comment

Well the fact that he had to print the manual is a bad omen for the DVD-case version.Originally posted by Falconius

Re: Re: Re: First game report
They got pre-releases from Firaxis/Infograms, but have an agreement that they will not post a review until Oct. 22nd. This is mentioned later in that thread. We'll probably see a lot of reviews all over the web in a little over a week.Originally posted by CapTVK

There is a post somewhere around here about the manual that comes with Civ III. It sounded like a REAL manual is included. They probably just weren't available yet for the media pre-release so they sent them an electronic version of the manual instead.Comment
