 Extremely Dissapointed December 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have played Civ since it first came out, way back in the early 90's. I've played all of the civ games and the orginal colonisation which was a lot of fun. This game is terrible, and you cannot win it. Simple tasks take an impossibly long time (train at a university), and the English Army is impossibly huge. It doens't hold a candle to the original colonisation and whoever put out this game should refund the money to all who bought it!
 Unexpectedly monotonous December 12, 2008

I like most of the Civ. Series, which I easily get addicted to and waste (enjoy) countless hours of game play. Not so with SMC4: Colonization... It started out with a pretty good concept but comes abruptly frustrating once "declaring independence".
I read a bunch of reviews and tip blogs out there on the best approaches to dealing with the European response to independence, but I found that it basically gets far too difficult and unplayable at that point.
I did enjoy the economic aspects of the game, creating systems of wealth creation, training specialists, and trading with Europe.
The only thing that got me to go back and try again was that I couldn't believe it was so difficult, so I tried a bunch of different tactics to no avail. After about 2 weeks of this on my PC, I gave up and am done with it.
Buy a less frustrating game, maybe another SMCiv game. Don't waste 2 weeks on this one.
Danger: securom Malware December 3, 2008

It has the horrid SecuRom malware that cause MANY MANY computer problems and cannot be uninstalled.
Boycott all SecuRom software. No program is worth it.

I have done Civilization IV and a couple of its expansion. I never had trouble on this computer running them. I got Colonization and all of a sudden I did--it ran slow, it was hard to do combat, etc. Also it was markedly not as fun. I suspect that they have run out of ideas for Civilization IV.
 Great Game! November 24, 2008

This game is a good one and the utilization of the Civ 4 engine makes it even better.
