"Though not all of the additions in the expansion are perfect, there's plenty of new stuff in Beyond the Sword for Civ fans to play with, and plenty of reasons to dive back into the game and start taking "just one more turn" all over again."
--Andrew Park, GameSpot

"Firaxis promised us that they'd improved the AI considerably with Beyond the Sword and after playing more than a few games, we have to admit that they've succeeded."
--STeve Butts, IGN

"If you only quite like Civ 4, then it's still worth a look for the custom scenarios. These are officially-made or approved mods for the game, and offer some really dramatic twists."
--Alec Meer, EuroGamer

"Final Frontier is a complete makeover that sends Civ IV into space, rendering it all but unrecognizable and inviting comparison to classics like Master of Orion and Galactic Civilizations."
--Tom Chick, Yahoo!Games

"Improved connectivity and simultaneous turns greatly speed up multiplayer."
--Eric Neigher, 1UP

"Fortunately, Firaxis isn't most developers and Beyond the Sword isn't most expansion packs. It's an amazing addition to an already-brilliant game."
--Allen Rausch, GameSpy
