Guide Review
Get ready to become addicted all over again!
"Civilization III" will keep you up all night long and make you wish you could skip work. The new civilizations (and tweaks to them), graphics, and a challenging AI, makes this a great buy for "Civilization" fans. I recommend this game to any "Civilization II" fans, and those with an interest in rewriting history.
