Sid Meiers Civilization IV: The Complete Edition Review
Here are a few comments about the "Complete Edition" release of Civilization IV, rather than the game itself (which is, of course, fun):
There's a lot of value packed into this release, with the original Civ IV, Warlords expansion pack, Beyond the Sword expansion pack, and Civ IV Colonization packed on one DVD. (That doesn't quite make it "complete", but close enough.) If you're looking to complete your Civ IV collection, this release is a good buy. However, if you're new to Civ IV, or especially to the Civilization franchise, be warned that unlike the original Civ IV release, this one does not include a full manual. Instead, you get only the reference poster and one slim booklet with basic instructions for all the games.
Therefore, I can't recommend this release to a complete newbie. But if you already know and love Civ IV, or if you're the kind of person who doesn't bother with manuals, then you do get a lot for your money.
