Review - Civilization 4: Beyond the Sword

As promised, here's my review of "Beyond the Sword," an expansion pack for Civilization 4.

ESRB Rating: Everyone (10+) - Violence

To clarify my review scores (they're "rough" scores, meaning it's not supposed to be some sort of percentage or anything):
1 or lower = Terrible. Avoid at all costs.
1.5 = Has a few redeeming qualities, but still sucks and should be avoided.
2 = Mediocre (Sub-par). You'll probably want to avoid this one.
2.5 = Underwhelming, but playable.
3 = Average. Worth playing, but probably not at full price.
3.5 = Good, but has issues.
4 = Excellent, but has a few problems that could probably be fixed through patching.
4.5 = Exceptional. Better than 4 but still has a few problems that could be ironed out.
5 = Outstanding. Stuff in this category is pretty much "must own."

I just bought civ 4 complete edition which has civ 4 + warlords + beyond the sword. Should I just jump straight in and play beyond the sword or should I start with the original first ????

Doesn't really matter.

The new techs don't have narrated quotes? ;(

[DWTerminator]

They do, but not by Leonard Nimoy.

@DWTerminator That's like producing a Spielberg movie with a different director! >:(

[DWTerminator]

I know. It's pretty depressing.
