Product Description
In Caesar, you become an aspiring provincial governor within Caesar's empire. As governor, you lay out each city, road by road, building by building, making sure your citizens have all they need to remain healthy, happy and safe from barbarian threats. Everyone wants to live a convenient distance to shops and entertainment, but nobody wants to live close to the noisy and dirty stuff! Your goal is to manage this delicate balance and grow your city from a simple village to a cosmopolitan metropolis. Do your job well, and you will rise among the political ranks of the empire -- and become Caesar!

 Caesar IV November 11, 2008
T. R. Blake (Southern California)
This game is so much fun and the graphics are great. Only one problem, if your computer does not have the latest graphics card and a lot of memory the game will play extremely slow.
Caesar IV is great September 9, 2008

Yes, this game does require a demanding set of hardware, but in these days it's actually fairly cheap to get good hardware and well worth it for many reasons. The gameplay is enjoyable and addicting and honestly I'm a huge fan of it, the graphics are a very nice touch that keeps me from getting bored. Do plan on upgrading right away though, the game is not stable until 1.2 patch is applied.
Great Game September 1, 2008
K. Earley (Rockville, MD)
I haven't had a chance to play this as much as I would like, but so far it has been great.
Good Game, demands too much graphics August 5, 2008
A player for a few months now
I have only played Caesar 3 and 4, but I think Caesar 4 is a much better improvement. There is only one major setback to this game, and thats the graphics.
I have nvidia 8500gt video card with 512 mb of memory with sli (2, 8500 cards), ati radion 5200+ (dual 2.6), and 4gb of memory and I can only play this game on medium graphics! This game has great gameplay and is very fun, but if you are considering buying it, have a powerful system to tackle the demanding graphics. Also, download the patch as soon as you can, for it fixes a lot of bugs which make the game crash. I have XP so I am not sure how it runs on vista but i'm sure its the same way. On to the good gameplay, there is a very long campaign, I play a few times a week and am still not done after 6 months. The tutorial is pretty good and you can catch on pretty quick.
The bottom line, check your computer before you buy this, and if you have a powerful enough computer buy this game it has had me enteratined for a few months now.

I wouldt recommend any sierra games because they are basically the same, you always have to fight to keep you city going and the graphics are lame.
