I brought this game a couple of weeks ago because it was only £12 but when I finally got it I was so disappointed.I am not a serious gamer and yet I still found it really boring after 40 minutes and I was even playing with 2 other people. I would recommend people rent it before they buy so they can make there own minds up but for me I don't think I will be playing it again.

Like many others on here, I bought the game with great expectation but can't get past the first hurdle. As soon as the game starts I get an error message with "Colonization has encountered an unexpected error". Not sure if this is related to SecuROM but there is no online help for this issue so I'm left with no option but to retrun to Amazon. Very dissapointing

To start with I am not "a gamer", but I am an IT systems engineer in Microsoft products. I bought this as a sort of media centre with the games as a sort of bonus. In the games dpt it is pretty good, great graphics, sound even on a std TV.
However there are a no of things I just expected this thing to do which it either doesn't do at all or doesn't do very well.
The reasonably large 60GB hard drive is next to useless at present because it is impossible to store anything other than XBL downloads (mostly trash trailers and demos) and music you rip directly from the DVD drive. You cannot transfer any files to or from the XBOX, even to your PC running an MS OS.
I have a large amount of music and video (much of it Microsoft) on usb hard drives. The ... Read More:

It was over a year ago now I came home and unwrapped this game, and whats changed since then?
The new title update (TU2) provides many awesome upgrades that the game didn't need but i still welcomed. This game is still the on I play most even after a year. It is a truely epic game for both multiplayer and Campaign a MUST BUY

It just shows that you can't depend on reviews when choosing games.
I was disappointed with this game and have now traded it in after about three hours of game play. I couldn't be bothered to play any more.
I felt the general game play was nothing special. I couldn't get a hang of the driving and found myself having to restart some of the missions over and over again until I just got frustrated. Also, it is frustrating having to go back to all the same location again and again to do a mission that involved chasing someone round in a car. Not very interesting really.
On the other hand, I admit that the general presentation of the game was second to only Mass Effect. And I admit Nico was quite a likeable character.

From the blurb on EA's site, I wasn't expecting great things from this expansion. It sounded as though you just get a new building type, but there's much more to it than that.
Sure, a large element is the apartments, but even those are better than I anticipated. If you've ever been stuck with a homeless family with low funds, or if your single guy is friendless, apartments provide the perfect solution. If your sim feels lonely, they only have to go and tap on someone's door (at a reasonable hour), and some apartments cost less than 1k a week.
There's also a hint of magic in the air, but I suspect that it takes more than the hour that I played to find that

Well i am willing to give this game a shot (literally), hold all bias and just play it. You cannot review a game based on past experience, especially when Treyarch will most likely do their best to change bad points players have expressed for cod3.
What happened to a clean slate?! Each game is different and unique, they aren't going to bring out the same game if it was unpopular for the most part...
