    They are WAY too different to compare. Far Cry. Just because I couldn't get interested in Civ4 for a long time.

    Agreed! Which type of game do you want another of more?

    Might as well check out the demos of each one.
    Civilization IV Demo
    Far Cry Demo

    I've been playing CivIII for four years. If you're already into strategy, the Civ series is amazing.

    Yeah, I much preferred Civ 3 to Civ 4. I don't know why, Civ 4 is prettier and even has more intriguing options. I guess change doesn't always come easy.

    Oh I agree.

    Civ IV! The latest expansion is just out too! Unless you're in the Americas, in which case you have to wait until Monday.

    Civ 3 was by far the worst game in the entire series.
    Civ4 rocks, it takes the good bits from the old games, and finally ditches the stuff that made no sense.

    And can't really compare these two games. I'd rather have Civ4. Civ has better replayability too, imo. But if you prefer FPS games, you might want to go with Far Cry instead. ;)

    I think this thread is rather pointless considering the games are not comparable (which seems to be the general consensus of the members who posted already). So, I'm going to close this thread.
