Well I have been playing the game now for a few days and it is simply phenomenally good, even more so with the one particular mod that I am using...
Mod LinkThere are warts with the game, tell me one where there aren't, and my first impressions were not that good. However continuing with the campaign I am amazed how 'just one more turn' type of compelling nature it has with its gameplay. Even more so when using the above noted mod.
Maybe the reviewer was unlucky as I have NEVER had one CTD whilst running the game, still I haven't always agreed with reviews from Gamespot. Just consider balancing that review along with the one that I linked to as well.
I am glad that posters in their forum seem to have a better opinion of the game...
Forum LinkAlso it is the best selling game at the moment, at least noted here from Gamersgate...
Paradoxplaza Link..I just hope that those who bought it are happy
