This is a good game, with the classic Civilization style play

I love civilization; this is not civilization

Not as good as Civilization 5, but still a very fun game where you can spend hours of your time

I want to compare my experience to Civ 3 (the best Civilization of all time IMO), because after I tried playing 4 for a while I never quite had as good of an experience playing a Civilization again

If you like previous civilizations then chance is you will like this one as well.

son watched me play this one for about 15 minutes and told me the old Civilization was better

There are significantly less factions than Civ V and the benefits/drawbacks to playing each is less interesting than previously

Seems kind of like a re-skin of Civ V, although I do like some of the new features such as the tech tree "web", affinities, trade routes, and unit upgrades
