Wait till the hype subsides before buying this game!
I remember after the release of CTPI and CTPII the first few days was nothing but glowing tributes for both games. Then people started posting realistic reviews that weren't so flattering. Then the bugs started to appear, then the complaints, then the patches.
We've been down this path before - MarkG has already reported a crash.
I think you are better waiting for Civ 3.1, which should be out before Christmas.
The fact that there is no multiplayer makes it even easier to wait.

I have four words for those statements "hell no" and the other two would also be "hell no".

Good advice, but I will still buy the game immediately. Can´t help it. 
But if I am disappointed, I am going to post a scathing review asap, so Firaxis better not disappoint me!
