A fairly dry, non-revealing review
But a good score, 93

Someone thinks the average of 94 and 89 is 93...

cons: No significant cons. End game can still be a bit tedious.
Think we know what difficulty they were on?

And why, if they've played the damn game, can they not give us new screens, rather than that stupid game played on the beta with 'Delta House'

I'm sorry..... I just think I hate Gamespy........ Probably something deeply rooted in my wireplay heritage

haha, wait until yin gets his calculator
i am trying to find the thread where he said that the only thing that matters is 'gameplay'.
the choice of music will depend on what i decide to put in my sound system

So far 3 very favorable reviews. Now if Gamespot gives the big thumbs up I would consider Civ3 a worthy successor to the Civ series.

Graphics ARE good, and will amaze me. I never play games like CounterStrike or Diablo, so what I'll see in Civ 3 will be more than good for me.
Go Civ 3!

The Game Spy review looks extremely promising. A 93% rating is difficult to surpass if we are talking about a serious review (when I mark graduate student papers I have never given more than 95%). If the overall assessment were a serious 99% or 100%, that would make the prospects of there ever being a Civ IV very remote. Even the best game in the world (as I hope Civ III will be) will have room for improvement.

I'd be inclined to take the scores from on-line reviews with a little scepticism.

This review is so bad I seriously doubt he even has the final version of the game.
