Fun game keeps me busy and it's not that complicated to learn but i must say they took there time on the game art like the maps and drawings are nice graphics too had some thought put into it but i guess this is what you expect from the people that brought you civilization IV.

Played this game when it first came out but never actually owned it. Bought it on a build kick and love it!

Not only the name is misleading, one would think that it would have some connection to the Civilization series, but it's foreign (England--note that I bought the game through Amazon but the seller was listed as BLS Mart and the order was fulfilled by Amazon); although the the accent is the least that bothers me.
The game lacks depth, imagination, and motivation to play on! The tasks and the missions are repetitive and graphics are mediocre. The game tries to blend SimCity with Civilization titles; an enormous task given the success and fame of those legendary titles. However I wouldn't expect it to fall so short!! The city management element of SimCity is missing as well as the combat element of Civ titles is missing; so a reasonable question would be "what does it offer?" Well, absolutely nothing; no excitement.

I haven't experienced any of the bugs mentioned by other reviews except for the cursor in the game not matching up. I don't own a super computer, it's only a Microsoft XP 2005 and the game plays fine on it. It isn't slow or poor quality. The graphics in the game are pretty nice, much better than the Caesar games and you can zoom in pretty close to see what's going on inside of the buildings. The game can get kind of boring after a while after you've built everything and I don't like that there's no messages that pop up on screen so you have to go through the advisers panels all the time.The missions are alright and the battles are so-so. I would've given this a 3.5 if I could... worth buying if you're really into building simulations, strategy, and Rome.

This game has the depth of a parking lot puddle.

Yes this game has been out awhile so I'll be quick as I tend to wait to buy games as I know a half dozen patches will be released for them... so CivCity Rome whom received one patch that failed to fix many issues is unfinished by the makers, it's a poor attempt to ride on the Civ Series coat tails and it's more loaded with bugs than a plebes home. It has been abandon by Firefly giving me pause to try any of their other titles.

As other have pointed out the mouse cursor doesn't match the location on the screen, you can have 2/3 unemployment and city happiness is 100%, you have to type a code to turn the grid on and off and the scale of some of the buildings is ridiculous... one of the biggest draw back is the map sizes, they are tiny and you quickly find yourself cramped for room to build yet the populations keeps flowing into the city and there is nothing you do stop it even though you are out of room to build. While a worker will walk completely across the map to get to work, they will not walk more than a couple of blocks to obtain supplies for their home (i.e. meat, tunics, water, olive oil).

The main Civilization series gives you the ability to edit the game and game play know as modding it has 100's of user mods that really give the game variety and depth... this is the main reason for the Civilization Series loyal fan base... CivCity only allows minimal game edits that do little to effect game play of performance, I'm guess the makers Firefly can't give up control of the game the way Fraxis can with Civ.

All and all the game is sort of fun, but it grows ho-hum and boring rather quickly... the game lacks depth, missions and the ability to edit the empire map is a real negative and addition to the limited mod-ability. I see this game collecting dust on a shelve rather quickly. It's Civilization-like in name only.
