I prefer the older "Alpha Centauri", which is more playable.

VERY much like the old game "Alpha Centauri" -- have always wanted to get a copy of that game but this one is even better...

Probably the most beautiful of all the games in the series, "Civilization", it is difficult to name a new subspecies of the series, most likely I would say about this game as a reincarnation of good old "Alpha Centauri" (fans will remember this game from Sid Meier)

I really loved Alpha Centauri and Alien Crossfire, but this was a huge letdown.
