Call to Power is in no way shape or form Civ2. I was so excited reading the manual and tech tree in the car waiting to get home. I loaded it up. started multiplayer with my brother. after a while we sat looking at each other. something just didnt feel right. where was the soul, the emotion, the feeling, the CIV.
it was like playing cardboard. it just felt so bland and blah. yes Blah. there is no better word for it.
I had it all boxed up and noone would buy it off me. Call to Power II?? Blah!! thats all that i can say.
Civilization 2 was like welcoming home and old friend. Civ 2 multiplayer was played more on my PC than any other multiplayer game ever. Civ 3 is great, but there is something about Civ2 that makes it the ultimate game. never fades and never grows old.
Shame the legal stuff means u can make a whole new game out of the Call to power code. maybe it could have been stripped to try and create Sid Miers' Civ2 rather than Civilization 2 call to power.
