For the price, it's worth it. I paid more and while I don't regret it, It hasn't grabbed me like the previous Civs. It looks lovely and has a lot of eye candy and neat effects but I prefer the gameplay in Civ 4. IMO 5 simplified things a great deal which is good if you're not into micromanaging but I miss some of the techniques and strategies for specialising cities and keeping populations happy.
