I have a 6800 256 a decent CPU loads of free space everyting is working well, took Fear out for a spin on medium settings all is fine with the world. So for £19 not bad but id wait for the bargin bucket if i was you To sum up nice graphics but short on challange (for me) but a hamless little game i can play my girls can play and i dont spend the whole of the next day planning where to place my next factory (as in x3) In all a good little relaxing game my 11 year old (or even the 8 year old)girls will be able to play and enjoy and one that my wife or i can play as a short relaxing period for half hour or so. Some of the facts in the civilpedia would be helpful for kids homework but thats about it.īuildings go up instantly which is not as good as heart of empire rome where they need materials and time to build.
