Civilization: Call to Power 2 Review
11 August 2003 | By Magpie
The bottom line is that the game isn't a bit challenging, and it doesn't make any sense to play an empire game in an environment where you won't have any real competition
The single player game is 100% stable and you wont have problems there. But your game will tend to crack sometimes in multi-player environment. It is fun to play the game in multi-player, and easy.
CTP2 has a variety of units from pikemens, lawyers to futuristically looking mechs. Also, there are tons of researchable technologies your empire can discover.
The game has a so called "replayability" factor and it is always fun to play a game from its nearly beginnings.
You wont need cheats for this game cause it has the worst Artificial Intelligence I've seen in one strategy game so far. I haven't figured out why those the game has more than one difficulty setting. It actually has 6 of them. The last one is called "impossible".
Impossible... The only impossible thing about CTP2 is that anybody is playing it. The first time I played the game on impossible setting I managed to develop a decent empire. No body was attacking so I took my army and went into search for the enemy. I stumbled directly into one enemy city. It was a medium sized city so I thought that it would be good defended. I attacked it and I saw three defenders fighting against my 12 attackers. They didn't have a chance. The next interesting thing was that nobody tried to take it over afterwards.
The bottom line is that the game isn't a bit challenging, and it doesn't make any sense to play an empire game in an environment where you won't have any real competition. If you wont to play a civ empire game buy "Alpha Centauri".

| The graphics aren't too bad at all, and the animations are well done. |
You will start with almost nothing and will have to work your way up. |
