  • Summary: The game blends classic themes and play styles of the empire-building genre with improvements in pacing, balance, and combat. Innovations in city growth and management, more powerful diplomacy and trade, and unique AI personalities provide even greater strategic depth and immersion. [Activision]

  1. Improved menus and controls make it rather less intimidating, and the open-ended nature of the game and the massive range of units, buildings, technologies and strategies on offer means this is one game that you can play time and time again without ever repeating yourself.
  2. Hard-core "Civilization" buffs will probably be disappointed in CTP2's lack of evolution of the Civilization series and some of its unbalanced units.
  3. What the original was intended to be - but it's still no "Alpha Centauri." [Feb 2001, p.78]
  4. This sequel doesn't bring anything revolutionary, but it certainly leaves an impression of a completed project. I believe that the authors meant to make the first part look like this.
