Video Game Reviews of Original Sid Meiers Colonization Classic (PC-WIN CD Jewel Case)
Customer Review: Definitely different from CiV ... good!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is very different IMO from the original Civ and Civ II. I think it's almost a history lesson disguised as a game. Sure you can be a bully and stomp the natives, etc. but there is payback at the darndest times. Eventually the natives and settlers will clash, but there is more going on to distract the player: a distant ruler who is painfully capricious and foreign wars that butt in on the business of trying to build viable colonies. That is the key word: Viable. You have to be able to stand on your own because push will come to shove eventually and outside help is just not there unless you show that you can shove on your own and are not just a paper tiger. It's old, the graphics can be corny, the music can get old (slip your own CD in to change the background mood music!), but it is extremely flexible in its challenges. A classic and a keeper. I enjoy the Civ series, but this is a welcome change.
