I got it this afternoon. I wasn't sure my video card was going to take it, but with a little work, it ended up working fine. I tinkered around with a bit tonight, but....wow, this isn't a game you can just jump into.
I've only brushed the surface....so take this for what you will.
It's a lot like III, but it's got a flashy new interface and it's been fine tuned...a lot. It seems a lot...slower than Civ III. I mean, I played a single player game and after an hour...(I think it was an hour...you know how time is with the civ games, eh?) I had all of three cities ready to go. I haven't quite figured out the 'religion' thing, yet, or how it helps/hinders your progress, but it's new...so it's a welcome addition. Just another layer to add to the overall experience.
The new interface is pretty neat. Your cities are actually distinguishable from another (aside from a name) on the map, which is kind of nice.
I haven't even tried the multiplayer stuff although I'm anxious to try it. I'll be playing it a lot this weekend, I suspect. So, stay tuned, I guess?
