Advantages: Compulsive Gameplay Disadvantages: No major ones, but several little gripes that add up
As anyone who has read some of my earlier reviews will testify, I really like my strategy games, and after hearing nothing but good things from magazines and American websites, I decided to get a copy of Galactic Civilisation.
For me, the coin is still in the air over this game. True I have played it for many hours and find it rather addictive, but there are quite a few little problems which although insignificant on their own tend to add up. I will point out some of these later on.
The game itself cost £29.99, however that was just after release and I have already seen it at £24.99 in Game and it can be bought from any major computer store.
