I thought this was about the fifth incarnation of User 332148.
I was looking forward to this game until I found out you need to access it through Steam.
Civ 5 has gotten some really good reviews, but I think I'm going to stick with my copy of Civ 4 instead. Perhaps you should pick up a copy of Civ 4 (CHEAP!) and avoid the insidious beast known as Steam. Civ 4 is a pretty good game if you're into this genre -- probably not as good as 5, but still good enough.
If you decide to get Civ 5, post a review here. I'd love to get an unbiased (?) point of view...
Hi - I have Civ 5. Yes it installs steam and many people seem to have problems with the installaion an running of the game but I have not. I don't have a particularly powerful pc -dual core, 3.16mhz, 4gb ram, Vista 32bit - and it runs fine. The problem is that as an avid Civ fan for the last 15 years, Civ 5 is definately 'dumbed down' - a lot of the complexity that made Civ the great game it is has been removed. Of course, this would appeal to some people but to die-hard Civ fanatics, while Civ 5 is fun, it's certainly lost its 'one more turn' appeal...

My favorite is Civ 1, but it crashed at the end of games, and Civ3. Civ 4 has the graphics.
Thanks
