With a sweeping score and artful direction, the intro cinematic entitled "The Chosen" for Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth is in line with the equally fantastic openers for past Civilization titles. Humanity is about to embark on a journey to a planet that can sustain humanity but is also rife with hostile aliens. Hey, if the aliens aren't going to come to us, we've going to them.
I've been playing Beyond Earth (lucky me!) for the past few days now and the review is slated for later next week, but that's all I can say unless I want to a team of Firaxis ninjas to come to my room while I sleep. Whatever the case, I've watched this trailer multiple times out of inspiration even though I don't really have to.
