GameSpot has also published their review of the Civ4 Warlords expansion pack, giving it 8.6 out of 10. The review is accompanied by a video review and 27 screenshots.
Much of the review talks about the new scenarios, which they called “the real treat in this expansion”. As for the core game, they said it “feels pretty much the same as before, only there are new leaders and civs to contend with”. Here is the final verdict:
There’s a lot of really cool content to go through in Warlords, and you can easily find yourself lost in any one of the scenarios. They’ll most likely appeal to Civ veterans looking for a new challenge or a new gameplay experience, though. Even at their easier difficulty levels, the scenarios might be a bit too much for newcomers, who should stick to the regular campaign game for now. We did notice a few bugs, such as great-wonder movies that didn’t play, but overall, this expansion is a lot more polished than Civilization IV was at its launch. Of course, it has the benefit of incorporating all the patches that have been made to the core game over the past year, and it also packages the pit-boss multiplayer client that was released separately, as well. Still, if you liked Civ 4, Warlords is a must-have expansion.
