CivCity Rome June 24, 2008
Starts out fun, but soon becomes impossible to play. You can never satisfy the town's people and although you are asked to build new homes for them, you have no more space to do so. A lesson in frustration...
 Ancient Fun May 30, 2008
This is just an awesome game. You learn a lot of the strategies as you progress through the game. It definately makes you think.
 Combat Bugs ruined it. May 2, 2008
Well its a great game after the patch is installed except for one crucial area...combat.
Put it to you like this. Sometimes your troops will not engage the enemy. Period. They will stand close by and die by the dozen while one or two fight valiantly. Then try to control them and you never know what your going to get.
I had full legions at times that wouldnt even leave the fort! Its a known bug but are they going to fix it since it basically ruins gameplay? Do NOT pay full price for this its not a completed game yet.
The game had major potential in the fun department until I ran into this issue. The economics of it are intriguing and very well done.
Keepin up with the Civ Name March 31, 2008
This game is very fun to play if you are one who likes to focus on the city building aspects of a Strategy game. I have been lost for hours playing this game. However it does require a good vid card. MIlitary functions could be increased but im sure that it will happen in an upgrade.
Very Fun
Excellent strategy game January 18, 2008

I've been playing this game for quite a while and as I said, it is an excellent strategy game. Although it does have some military action, it is very related to cities development. In some ways similar to Stronghold, in the sense that you have to build complete commodities chains.
I really like this game and recommend it to people who enjoy adding details to cities, and that would like to know more about Rome.
