Super dumbed down so I like it very much.

love this game so much and played it soooo much. i like that you can finish a full game easier than in the full civ games. i like the kiddy look. i mostly like the simplified shit. only things i wish it had were the hexagons and the limit to how many units you can have on a square. love fighting the barbarians which reminds me i loved the special circumstance modes

Manages to take out most of the fun of the original game in order to make it playable with a controller... good job, Firaxis.

This is like Civilization for babbies. There's literally nothing in this game that would make you want to play it over a mainline Civ game. Even worse is that art style looks like ass and the gameplay was dumbed down. You can't even mod it due to being a console exclusive, not like you'd want to anyway.
