"THE BEST GAME EVER MADE!!!!!"

When I started playing this game, it seemed as if some type of unknown force keep driving me to play. This game is so addictive, its scary. I have never played a game as fun and addictive as this in my whole life.
Game play-10/10 I have never played a better game than this. Its just so addictive. In the beginning you pick your tribe and the game makes a world for you to play on. You start off with one settler and build up from that. I like to think of the cities as factories that build units. You get all types of units as the game moves on. Your game will last to be a couple thousand years long also. The units are also well balanced. You will not see a tank get beaten by a phalanx like in Call To Power.
Sound-8/10 The sound in this game is great. Everything from a cannon going off to a World Wonder Movie playing (the movies are amazing). The only thing that would have made it better was if each unit had its own sound. At the start of the game, a few units share the same grunting sounds.
Graphics-8/10 When you first look at this game you might think that it looks like a kid with markers got to it. But the more you play, the more you say, ''Actually the graphics go along great with this game''. Besides that there are a lot of videos to go along with the game. You will see what I mean when you go to a High Council meeting or build a wonder.
Replay-10/10 No two games will be the same and the game play will have you playing for weeks on end. Besides this game only costs about twenty dollars. Plus you can download maps, unit icons, and scenarios to the game for free of the web. If you buy Civilization 2 Gold, you will also get about 100 new scenarios, in addition to the Roman and World War 2 scenarios that come with the game. You can also play multiplayer games if you get the ''Gold'' version, but for some reason the wonder movies don't work in the newer ''Gold'' version for some reason. The only problem is that this game could have a big impact on your social life. Oh well. Its still the best game I have ever played on any system.
