 Maybe not for win vista!!! June 26, 2008
Is a good game great graphics, but a little slow to play, the cursor moves slow and takes forever to get somewhere , tehe previous caesar III was faster. maybe because I' m playing it on wind vista, who knows
 Spiffy June 12, 2008
Its fun, challenging, and if you have played the previous Casears, slightly different because its more in a 3-D mode. However, the game does take a lot of the computer's resources and runs a little slow, even on new machines. I have a state of the art computer and had to turn down the games settings.
Once You Get It To Run, It's A Blast June 6, 2008
I enjoy sim games a lot, and was a little scared off about this one due to so much news about crashes, incompatability, etc.
So, after installing it, I dialed all the settings down to the minimum resource consumption and away we went! The mouse lags, etc., are still present but are not anywhere near as bothersome.
It is a great game for systems thinking and leadership development. Along the way, you actually learn a little about Roman culture, beliefs and priorities. Even dialed down, the graphics are very watchable.
I must confess that I have not made it all the way to the end yet. I have "enjoyed the journey" a lot, though.
Exciting graphics don't make for more engaging play April 19, 2008
Although I've been a fan of Caesar III for over 3 years, I have not found Caesar IV to be as engaging. City-building is spectacular in the new graphic environment; however, inadequate messaging and information about how to improve prosperity is as frustrating as in version III. The user interface is not particularly intuitive, and maneuvering troops does not work as easily as in the predecessors to Caesar IV. If a new version is on the horizon, perhaps improvement to ease of use could make meeting the challenges of the Emperor more fun rather than more frustrating.
A Passing Game March 25, 2008

Ever since I played Pharaoh and Cleopatra I have been addicted to city-building game and this game makes me smile. Despite some annoyances with rotation angles and the really small city maps (for the beginning missions)I enjoyed the new 3D look and if you have an awesome gaming computer, the shadows, lighting and passing day effects will look amazing.
Overall, I was not extremely hooked, but it's a game you can definitely play in passing.
