The flow of play in Colonization goes something like this: Provide passage to new settlers interested in leaving their European homes for the New World, have them build settlements when they arrive, and then improve those settlements with more citizens and better buildings so you can expand your cultural borders. To be sure, the presentation and play are both similar enough that it looks much like Civilization IV, but a few brief minutes with the game reveals a host of original features and objectives. Play is set roundabout 1492 and focuses on the challenges faced by the European settlers who claimed the American continents as their own. In fact, it's a standalone game (that is, you need not have Civilization IV installed on your PC in order to play it) that's more or less a remake of another Sid Meier game released 13 years ago called Colonization. Given the game's title, people would be forgiven if they thought SID MEIER'S CIVILIZATION IV: COLONIZATION was just another expansion to the famed game maker's popular world history simulator.
