The Civilization series still has a plentiful supply of what one fan called the ¿one more turn¿ quality. Whatever your complaints about the latest incarnation of the game, it still can suck five hours of your day right out from under you. That said, I do have some nit picking to do. The game is a dog in performance. I tried it on a 700 MHz iBook with a 16MB Radeon card and a new iMac 800 MHz G4. Even with Quartz turned on, there¿s no reason the game should run so slowly. The game also has numerous bugs that cause the application to quit. While the developers thankfully implemented a feature that autosaves your game every turn, that is no replacement for real stability. At one point, I had to alter my path in the game significantly to avoid the program quitting. Lastly, the interface is improved over previous incarnations of the game to the point that it at least looks friendly. If Sid Meier and friend¿s are hoping to increase the appeal of the game, though, they should work towards making a more intuitive, consistent interface. Still, for anyone who enjoys strategy games or is looking to try one, I would recommend Civilization III as a worthy addition or starting point for a collection.

While the game doesn't add anything new to the genre, it's got enough fun to make it enjoyable for a few passive hours on the couch. This will definitely appeal to those who felt Wave Race was too difficult or demanding. Still, Splashdown's too conservative. If you're going to be an arcade racer with wacky characters and over-the-top tricks, then you can't pull any punches. There's very little in the environments to make you go "wow!" or "zoinks!" or "holy schnozzle!" And there's not enough tricks to keep them interesting forever. There's certainly enough here to carry you through all of the tracks and finish up a championship, but will it keep you coming back for more a month later? Probably not.

Une version 2002 qui parvient à conserver ses acquis tout en allant de l'avant. Ce jeu de golf plaira aussi bien aux habitués qu'aux néophytes grâce à sa prise en main rapide et simple, sans que l'aspect technique du sport en souffre pour autant. Depuis la version 2000, TWPGAT ne cesse de s'améliorer. 2002, âge de maturité ? Réponse en 2003.
