This game is less "complex" than its predecessor, for example religion was removed, instead of getting civics through research there are seperate "policies" which will unlock by accumulating culture, and happiness is calculated on a national level instead of per city, which is something I personally don't like that much.

There are some other changes that I do like though. For example the 1 military unit per tile mechanic. No more stacks of doom and more tactical gameplay. Archers and other 'ranged units' that didn't have a real ranged attack before being able to truly do a ranged attack is also a plus.

Civ V is easier to learn than Civ 4 (which is the only other Civilization game I have played) because of its decreased complexity, while it still has the "one more turn!" addiction factor. I personally would have like to keep the more 'complex' features, but it is still a great game.

Before the G&K and BNW expansions I'd only give this game an 8/10, but with the stuff they add it's an easy 10!

Perfection

...

One of the best reason can be just to see what you can do to anyone no matter what you need to do no matter what but some not want to agree but when those people need to learn they will agree

Its a well designed game, with excellent developed AI, although it has some bugs like slow loading graphics, etc. However its an awesome game and its worth buying.

Not for everyone.. One of my favorite games of all time. Great single-player experience but paramount when played multi.

The game-play is noticeably comfortable than Civ4. For a turn-based strategy game, turn after turn and managing cities and units must not be irritating, and Civ5 has done a great job at it. Though i still don't like it when the camera automatically focuses on unmoved units by force.

Difficulty of the game is another thing that's praiseworthy. There are eight; From Settler to King to Deity. And this wide range of difficulty gives one to play, have fun and advance at the same time.
I myself have never beaten the Deity and the Immortal. But it's an agreeable game when it's on the King difficulty.

Game strategy depends greatly on what type of map you're playing on and also which of the eighteen leaders you are. There's a wide range of map types which are generated randomly that you can play on, which is in my opinion is what makes the game worth playing "over and over again".

After playing the game and got used to it (if you like Turn-Based-Strategy games) "you will get addicted!" and the game goes on and on as you think to yourself 'ok, after this turn i quit' -- and will find yourself sitting for days on end unable to quit playing...

But, like all games it will also get boring as you explore it deep enough. But wont happen for quite a while.

9- for quite basic and elementary military strategy.

Games okay, get's pretty boring to be honest.

Civilization is a amazing game with incredible graphics, interface and gameplay, there may not be alot of options in diplomacy but makes up for its number of different units from warriors to A deadly robot, Leaders are very well designed and gameplay is unlike anything ever seen in previous games.

This game deserves its rating.

It's quite a bit different from Civ 4, but it's still a great addition to the Civilization family of games
