Civilization V

Well, been waiting for ages for this to come up... And finally, it's here... Civilization V... the latest installment to Firaxis' Sid Meier's Civilization series... first, I've expect the controls to be more complex with new things coming up... However, it wasn't as complex as I thought, though I barely have enough time to try out the game recently... But as far for I can say, the User Interface or UI is simple... very few options compared to what was seen in the previous installment... Civilizations from lesser known ares such as Siam and the Songhai were featured in this installment... However nice it looks, the army doesn't look like 3 gigantic soldiers walking around the map... but instead an entire regiment of soldiers... compared to Civilization IV... one more thing to add is that we can all kiss the squares goodbye and welcome back to the Hexagons... in Civilization V, we will not be using the squares like we did in Civilization IV...Hexagons have returned to replace the tiles in Civilization V... Graphics was spectacular as the lighting has changed a lot from Civilization IV... what can you say? 5 years in the development... It has to be awesome... Though I would say that there will no longer villages to explore that gives you bonuses but ruins which gives you gold or manpower... overall, since I don't get to play much bout the game... I leave it for another time before I'll be rating this game...
