Civilization IV review and discussions

IGN has posted it's very first review of the must anticipated Civ IV. As expected it has been given a IGN rating of 9.4/10 8) and a Editor's Choice Award 8) . Check out the review here:

I am going to buy that the day it is available in Kolkata, no matter what is the cost. Seems better than it's other competitor AOE III, although of a little different genre, one is real time strategy, other is turn based strategy.

I think Gamespot and Gamespy will follow suit and give it a Editor's Choice Award.

Is the game hit the Indian market? The other day (last sunday) I went to Music world and Planet M, Kolkata and they told that they have just put a purchase requisition for the same to the international distributors of 2K Games.

Am getting fidgety, just cannot wait any more.

I had mailed the support staff at Milestone Interactive. They have confirmed that they will indeed release the game, though they could not provide the exact date at which the game will be available in stores in India. Keeping fingers crossed.

BTW, does anyone know the recommended system requirements for the game?

downloading it now

Just wondering are you a fileplanet subscriber? Civ-IV is available for download to only complete subscribers of fileplanet, as far as I know and it can be purchased digitally from www.fileplanet.com.

Still not available, what are the distributors doing? In bengali there is a sentence whose english translation would be: "Sitting and eating grass!!!" (bose bose ghaas khacche)!!!

Has the game arrived? Anyone got it yet?
