got it two days ago and i like it a lot. I'd say buy it if you liked one and two. Gameplay is great. Ai is pretty smart even on easiest level. Tech tree is shrunk a little and there are no more wonder movies. Having a 16 civs in one gane is great. New resource and trade aspect adds a nice component to the game. As well as the culture rating. Makes individual cities more important. All in all much more realistic then the first two, music isn't that bad, graphics are pretty good. I'm gonna go play some more right now
