 Great addition to an already great game February 23, 2003

Play the World is an excellent addition to Civilization III. It adds 8 extra civilizations - the Ottomans, Arabs, Spanish, Vikings, Celts, Mongols, Carthaginians, and Koreans, bringing the grand total to 25. The multiplayer is great - I don't know what the other reviewers were complaining about. The editor is far better than the old one. Definitely buy this expansion pack!
Pretty awesome January 10, 2007

It's historical, fun, challenging, and with the networking options on the expansion, it's well worth the money. Except for the fact the new one is out, and it is just as fun as this one, if not more, if you don't have a very up to date computer, this should run fine. An excellent strategy game for all ages.

The Expansion pack brings Civ III up to par with the fantastic titles that have gone before it. Finally, we are provided with some historical scenarios with "real world" starting positions. An amazing 30+ civilizations can vie for control in a single scenario. I have only begun to play with the editor that comes with the program, but it seems to allow for the kind of expansion and creativity that kept me playing Civ II when I bought it all those years ago until a few weeks ago when I bought the expansion pack to go along with Civ III. Admittedly, I was not thrilled with Civ III by itself, but the expansion pack makes it a worthy successor to the Civ throne.
The best Civilization yet June 27, 2003

This expansion pack includes everything I've ever wanted in Civilization III. It adds new civilizations and new maps! You can set your maps to be historically correct to see what and how your favorite civilizations mastered their terrain and their neighbors. It adds new techonologies, wonders, units, everything. You cant play Civilization III without first buying this expansion pack because I can hardly imagine my playing experience without it.
Play the World--Sorry, but you can play your freinds! January 4, 2003

This is a GREAT add-on. The other reviews keep ranting and raving about how the multiplayer doesn't work, but THAT'S JUST ON-LINE! Try an internet cafe like a LAN setup and it works like MAGIC!First of all, there are now EIGHT new civilizations: The Vikings, the Carthagians, the Celts, the Koreans, The Spanish, The Ottomans, The Arabs, and the Mongols (Huns).Obviously, these aren't the ones you immediately think of when making an original game (no offense intended to anyone,) but they add much more fun to the game. Each new civilization has been integrated seamlessly with the rest of the game, complete with characteristics and special units. Two new units have been added for all civs as well: Medievel Infantry and Guerillas, which were in Civ2. The interface is also much better. I've one twice now and I owe it all to the new interface!!! There is now a new wonder--the Internet (A great thing both in real life and in the game!) and there are numerous new city improvements and worker actions. In multiplayer, you can play a hotseat game with only one computer needed, or a play-by-email if you don't have a good internet connection. This way is much faster then it would appear to be--and it retains all of the pacing. On LAN, you can play Simultaneous Turns, where everyone takes their turn at once (Frantic, but fun!) or the much-discussed TURNLESS, where there are NO turns whatsoever, and various things are kept track of by faction upkeep timers. Great in every way, just don't play online!!!!!
