4 Stars Great game play, but should have been longer.
Everything about this game is amazing except how long it takes to win. Yes there is the multiplayer, but I still think that it should have been longer.

5 Stars Great Game, Lousy Shipping
The product is amazing and I will probably start playing it in the next few minutes. The problem was that I was shipped the wrong game! I was shipped Civilization IV instead. When I tried to return it, the website would not respond to my emails and would not answer their phone!!!! I tried for almost 2 weeks to return it and finally read in their return policy that it had to be returned within 10 days in order to trade it for the correct game. By then it was too late. It was sent from Go Gamer.com, of which I will never buy another product from again. So the game is amazing, but I didn’t buy the actual game from you. I bought it off the Apple website.

4 Stars A New Spin on an Old Classic
I owned both COD the first, and COD2, and was a little skeptical when getting this if I’d experience anything new, or just the same old maps and game dressed up in new graphics. This is not the case at all; COD4 is a totally new game if not a totally new concept obviously. The graphics have certainly been improved but you’ll need a pretty powerful card to get the most out of it IMO. Gameplay is very realistic and the shear number and type of armaments, maps and characters are great, if a bit intimidating at first. Unless you’re a total gaming stud, expect to get your butt kicked the first couple days of playing this game until you get used to the physics and its quirks.

Many aspects of this game have added realism, such as the ability to call in CAS choppers, gillie suits for snipers, different types of camouflage for weapons, different weapon behaviors depending on whether you have certain handles or silencers attached, knives, etc. Also, it has the interesting twist in the MP variant that as you get better and acquire more kills from game to game, you unlock more weapons and weapon options (like advanced scopes or stun grenades) for yourself. Then as your skills and weapons available both get better, the effect tends to snowball a bit and you can really start kicking tail when you get up into the officer ranks.

Couple new game types alongside the classic DM, TDM, Domination, etc… basically all variations on Search and Destroy. One where you locate a constantly updating HQ, capture and defend it, another where you have one bomb that constantly gets “swiped” by the other team, each in an attempt to blow up their specific objective, and the traditional Search and Destroy model where you just switch sides, taking turn attacking and defending the same target locations. The Single Player game is very slick and life-like with a variety of different mission types and locations around the world, and good lead-in / lead-out video sequences.

My one beef with this game is there seems to be some sort of inherent lag in the online game where even if you’re ping is good, there can be a slight delay in the actions you take, resulting in quick and constant death. AFAICT it has more to do with how many people are on the server than the average ping. Servers with more than about 15 or 16 players can get this problem a lot and it will degrade game play in that case.

All in all definitely worth the money if you’re a long time MOHAA / COD fan.

5 Stars Great game for the strategists of the world
My title says it all, basically. This is not the type of game for those who just want to quickly build up an army and crush the opposition. This game requires a good amount of patience, but for anyone who likes to relive history, and build your own custom empire, or just to play a game that plays somewhat like chess, but also like a war game, this is for you. A very fun game for those who appreciate strategy.

1 Star Would be good if it didn’t crash
Even with the latest patch from Aspyr this game was unplayable for me. It crashed (requiring a reboot) every 10 minutes.

During those 10 minutes the game seemed like it would be fun, but it was simply too frustrating to try to play through the crashes.

5 Stars First CiV game and love it.
I bought this game over steam and have spent countless hours playing it as well as the mods it shipped with (not sure if that is offered with amazon). If you like turn-based RTS games this game is for you. If you enjoy enjoy games like starcraft, empire earth, and age of empires but prefer building rather than warfare then this game is even more for you!

Games are often very long, and it has a pretty steep learning curve. I for one have to play on an easier difficulty to have fun and still am not very skilled. But i love the game. It is a very details and in depth-game. I have bought it twice, once over direct2drive and then again over steam because i was not happy with my D2D purchase. Will probably end up buying this game a third time so i no longer have to run boot camp to run it. If you like the things i mentioned about this game I sincerely suggest you either buy it or play a demo; you will love this game.

4 Stars Same Old Civilization.
Civ4 is pretty much the same thing as Civ3. Nothing but hype. Buy Civ3 and save money. The game is very addictive so be careful, you still have to go to work and school, the kids still have to be fed. Once you drop a Nuclear bomb the tiny map in the corner goes haywire, that sucks. As the game progresses it slows down. Oh and Aspyr does a bad job converting the game for Macintosh computers. A lot of the hints that pop up are obviously meant for Windows computers. I am no computer wiz, but installing it was a hassle, only because i didn’t know that i had to copy the game files from the CD to my HD. The installation instructions said nothing about doing that.

1 Star couldn’t load it on a maacbook 2006 laptop
It might be ok for windows but it didn’t load on my macbook without significant problems.
