Meier's PC strategy games were always my favorite. But this game, though it's a bit cartoonish, has lots to offers. The controllers is easy. The game play is Fun, Fast and Simple. Of course for startegy hard-core fan like me,I wasn't overhyping about this game. However, for a fisrt strategy game ever made for PS3, actually multiplatform, the gameplay doesn't differ much from the PC experience. Yup, you still can get that experience.
What this startegy game has that any previous Meier's games don't is that when it comes to a battle, your army won't do the same fighting move. Your army will give expression as they won the battle and they will automatically upgrade their skills. That feels good
The con is that each advisor from military, politic, etc are sometimes bothering my gameplay as they just pop up covering the whole TV screen every minute after you received some new sources in your civilization. Also, just like what I expected, the game during multiplayer online had lag so much. But this is common in strategy games.
I'll give the graphics a B+. Although it look very cartoonish, they are very well-polish.
