Advantages: Great long game, isometric nostalgia

Disadvantages: somewhat repetitive and difficult at times

Caesar 3 is a great Civ game, where you are a roman governor and you have to build a roman city from scratch and look after it, providing all the necessities your citizens need, such as baths, entertainment, doctors, temples, schools and so on.

The interface is quite easy to navigate and most of the buildings are represented by icons, so are the advisor buttons. The top is the headings such as file, options, help and so on which is quick to access. The controls are very easy to pick up and learn as you play through the tutorial level, which isnt very patronising. As you progress, the levels do get harder, but they are challenging, not aggravating.

The level goals consist of ones such as keeping the emperors favour, keeping prosperity ratings high, peace ratings high, wealth ratings high and so on. This can be done through careful management and upkeep of the town and ensuring all citizen's needs are met.

Sound is not superb, but gives you a good indication of what is happening where and is nice to have, but not necessary.

Graphicswise it is quite good for an isometric game, and does not drain memory. It is really good as the animations are comedic and enjoyable to watch.

It can be purchased for under £5 online and is a great game!

Summary: a really good game to play if you like CIV builders
