really enjoyed the game, its pretty easy to pick up ononly complaint would be it at times seemed as if it was 4 vs 1 as the computer had little interest in going after other ai playersfor under 20 dollars it was a great buy
Great graphics and choice of leader roles. It is similar to the original Civilization game by Sid Meir. It's easier to play because you don't have to constantly manage all your resources like settlers and what they are doing, they are mostly self managing. Didn't really like the world map however, and it is not as challenging as the original PC version of the game.
Great game if you're a fan of the CIV serries. Game is shorter and easier to play than the heavy / deep Civilization series for the computer.Some would say that's a bad thing, but I think it's fine.My only complaint is that you can't keep playing after you 'win' via one of the 4 victory conditions. I've had games where I won an economic victory, for example, where I would enjoy then destroying every other country.Still, a solid, fun game with enough variety that you'll play it again.
here it is folks.the most addictive game since "smack head larry".get out your science skills.youre gonna need em for this game.first you must pick a big time ruler from the past.then slowly over a long period of time you must meet and conquer other past rulers.the rulers are people youve heard of like the short dead dude napolean or abe lincoln.personaly,i would have like to have seen george washington,harry truman,fidel castro,winston churchill,moussolinni,and a few others like that.grab your science skills for the next part.then you must choose an area of research.say you build a barracks.then you get more soldiers faster.but say you rely onhorsemen to do battle with.someone else couldve researched gun powder and could blow you away with its cannons.whats more is the game begins back in the day where there were just guys with sticks.if you choose right you could be nuking someone around 2030.i think this is one of the best games ever made.the game ends when your player gets one of 4 victories.those would be domination,economic,cultural or technological.the only easy one is domination.this game is the best strategy game ive ever played.it beats other greats such as harvest moon,risk,axis and allies and roller coaster tycoon.its great fun and pretty easy to follow.so sit back and relax.the game practicly plays itself.
Alex can complete a whole campaign in roughly an hour and a half. If you can beat a game in under 2 hours something is seriously wrong, especially if it is suppose to be an in depth turn based strategy game.If you can snag this game for cheap by all means do so otherwise save your money and rent it over the weekend. Believe me when I say Civilization has never looked better than it does on the 360.However the problem is alot was taken out. The visuals are nice and crisp with a lot of character. I have a bit of bias against civilization revolution. The only variance between each leader is certain unit types and socializing options. To me it does not matter what the genre is. He seems to have underestimated the "intelligence" of X box 360 gamers.
You can beat the main campaighn in under 2 hours.-The game abruptly ends after the beginning of the space age. On top of that there are no story driven missions revolving around famous historical characters. My friend Alex is a big fan of the Civ series so like any good mate I thought it would be a nice gift suggestion.If you enjoy turn based resource management, battles, and forming lucrative social alliances throughout many historical time peroids it may seem like at first Revolution provides that in spades. For those that enjoy stream lined simplicity Civ Rev might be up their alley but if you are a true fan of past Civilization games do not expect this one to hold up to your expectations.Pros+Nice comical graphics with people that pop up and talk in a Sim-ish like language.+There are a few more modes and multi-player options beyond the core game that can add a bit more enjoyment.+The game is easy to learn.+If you have just a bit of time to kill before going into work or taking the kids out to the ball park it is an easy game to jump into and jump out of.+Somewhat educational and a friendly game for all ages with hardly any violence or profanityCons-Much shorter than the original Civ games. (And by that I mean literally beat the game) A glaring flaw is unlike other Civilizations that continued on after the space age that is the point where Revolution abruptly ends. The only difference between a choosen leader is that it gives you slightly different unit types and a few unique options on how to utilize resources and social skills.Honestly I'm a little mad at Sid. In other Civ games it continued onward after man-kind reached the stars.-The leaders do not have personal story lines and self tailored mission objectives as they did in past Civ games. Sadly these little alterations are so obscure you will not notice them much.-The game feels rushed as if it is a "toddler training edition" of the Civilization series instead of an actual true sequel.
