4 out of 5 stars Who knew world domination could be so much fun?   August 18, 2008
This game exceeded my expectations. Sid Meier fans will not be disappointed. It is addictive, and somehow the gameplay stays fresh, even after your 4th or 5th time playing. Also, the "Game of the Day" function is fun if you're looking for something new.


2 out of 5 stars Simplified   August 16, 2008
After playing the computer civilization games since the first one, I'm a bit disappointed in the lack of detail this one gives. I understand that the mainstream market probably would be turned off by the level of complexity involved in most of the Civilization games, but this game goes against the brand in this respect. I expected something more like Civilization IV in this release.


1 out of 5 stars PLease, Sid   August 10, 2008

This game had potential except that it kept ending as things started to build to an interesting point. This misfortune was the result of a time based engine that stopped the game - perhaps because the programing got too complicated for Mr. Meier- at odd and sometimes dramatically underplayed events during an arbitrary time run and was a misfortune in design, whether you won or not. My advice to Mr. Meier is not to name a game after yourself unless it is better than this one or your Japanese.


5 out of 5 stars Great Job Sid   August 9, 2008
I have played Civilization on my PC for years but enjoy the Xbox version much more. The game draws you in and before you turn around two or three hours have gone by like it was ten minutes.



4 out of 5 stars Nice Civilization for Consoles   August 4, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I have been playing the Civilization series on Pc since it first started in 1991. This game is very similiar to the first civilzation. Sid Meier has made a great civilizaton game for consoles. This game is great if you want a shorter more simplier experience and also great for multiplayer. With Civilizaton IV it would take 6 or more hours to finish a decent sized game. Now with Civilization Revolution you can finish a game in under 4 hours. Also multiplayer used to take forever in Civilization IV so now that is also much shorter (about half the time) with Civilization Revolution. Keep in mind Civilzation Revolution doesnt have the depth and micro managing that Civilization IV has. Also doesnt have as much diplomacy. Its mostly about going to war and your limited to only 4 types of victories. The maps are also much smaller. Theres only nuke in the game. You cant play past 2100 AD. There are also only 16 civilizations compared to CIV IV Beyond the sword which has a total of 34. I can still see my self playing Civilization IV when I want a longer more in depth game. If I want a shorter game and maybe play multiplayer I would plya Civilization Revolution. There both good in their own ways. I am very glad they made Civilization Revolution and very happy with the end product. Very easy to use the xbox controller to navigate the units and other controls. Very well done Sid Meier and the team at Firaxis/2K games. Hopefully they will come out with more DLC and expansion packs with more Civs and maps. Easily the best console strategy game ever made. Worth every penny just like every other Civilization game ever made it has its amazing playability. Each game is completely different from each other and never gets boring.
