I played this game for nearly 6 hours straight. Before this game, I'd never played a Civilization game before. I'm not even a big fan of RTS games either. This game is great. There are a few goofy things, like Napoleons douche-baggy witty quirks and the fact that Ghandi is probably the best military I've played as so far. The cut-scenes are great. I've also gotta say - I've learned some good history of the world playing this game, no joke. They need stuff like this in school. I'm blown away by the fun factor of this game. I can see it getting old soon already, but it's absolutely worth the money and fun while it lasts!
