Usually game companies offer a new an improved game which is basically an easier version but with better graphics than the previous. This is not true for Civ V, its better in almost every way.
After a very frustrating install process ( took me more than two hours because of problems with Steam downloading the game rather than using my disk,) I finally got a chance to try the game. The upgraded combat system is so much fun I found myself in constant war just wanting to strategize. Although all the other Civs thought I was a warmongering threat to the world, the complex diplomacy was very satisfying. On top of all this the game looks gorgeous!
I was planning to give the game a three or four because of the problems I had installing it, but I have to give it five stars. It's just so much fun!
Pros:
1. Amazing game, and with all the Civilizations you get with Game of the Year add quite a bit.
2. Unlimited hours of gameplay.
3. MODS! The Steam Workshop adds a bunch of fan made mods, and with the SDK, you can easily make your own!
Cons:
1. Doesn't include Brave New World or Gods and Kings
2. Very time consuming
