I started to play the CivWorld beta on facebook the other day. I'm already enjoying it way to much! But first we have to go back to when it all begun.
Sid Meier has been a favorite of mine since long. I played Civilization for hours with my friends. We used to go home and play the game together, ain't several minds better than one? This co-operative way of playing a single player game really hooked me. Since that time I been admiring all Sid's work. I've had my ups (CivII, CivRev) and downs (CivIV) due to natural periods in life. Like spending to much time making my own games or producing small children. But I been faithful and played them all.
CivWorld is the latest installment. It's a so called facebook game. It's still in beta, but I'm already impressed! It has a few flaws, mostly due to the flashplayer that are required! The framerate sucks on my system and the game might not be the deepest in the series. But overall the game is brilliant, because the game requires you to team up with friend/other players to win. It's like a big co-operative Civilization MMO.
Did I mention that it's brilliant? It really is! This co-operation really reminds me of how I played Civilization with my friends back in the days... we now sit in our own houses by ourselfs but we're melting our brains just like we did in the good old days.
Plus:
- Gameplay
- Co-operation
- I've almost won my first game
Minus:
- Flashplayer is required! (HTML5 anyone?)
