Civilization Revolution
WORDS BY: Cameron Lewis
)
More importantly, these parallel avenues produce a natural ebb and flow that emphasizes long-term creative thinking and adaptation over prehistoric luck. When no two campaigns play out the same way, settling into a mundane routine is hardly a risk, but 10 scenarios add some piquant variations anyway. In these, you can start out with every technology, or contend with a drastically increased barbarian presence, for example — and Game of the Week events let you compete under controlled, save-free conditions for a spot on the world leaderboards.
For all the layers of freedom and complexity roiling beneath Civilization Revolution’s vibrant map and cartoonish battle sequences, the elegantly informative displays, intuitive interface, and Civilopedia reference guide let you conduct business without drowning in micromanagement. The absence of a full overhead map is strange, as is the inability to rotate the view even momentarily, but your enjoyment won’t suffer much. You’ll sometimes have to touch a dozen cities before you can save, but this never yields more than a minute or two of inconvenience.
)
On the other hand, you can’t save at all during online multiplayer games — which take hours on end to complete — but if you’re disconnected during a head-to-head, team, or free-for-all match, an A.I. takes control until you reconnect. Because you and your opponents move simultaneously, you spend little time waiting on other people, and you’ll forge alliances, trade technologies, and scheme in private chat sessions with a tap of the right bumper. You can even set up to a 40% handicap that boosts everything from production speed to combat power to give neophyte friends a fighting chance against your superior intellect.
)
Civilization Revolution’s sunny presentation and bountiful depth might not be suffi cient to draw legions of newcomers to turn-based strategy, but it is easily the single greatest example of the genre ever to grace a console.
PREVOn Xbox 360
- Amazing breadth and depth with an intuitive interface.
- Bright and cheery presentation.
- Can't save long multiplayer matches, rotate the map, or zoom out far enough.
- Will PC vets forgive the lack of religion and solo worker units?

I've been a fan since I played Civ2 for the PC many many years ago. I thought they could convert this game pretty well, but this well??
I bought it the day it came out here which was like thursday, and I've pumped over 40 hours into it since then.
One suggestion though, for a Scenario game, gotta make a arms race one where the first person to nuke the world wins!!
I know Americans would like that one no? lol.

I didn't like this would translate so well to the console (I didn't really take to the Supreme Commander port), but after playing the Demo...oh wow...this is a must buy...heck I think both my wife and I will be buying our own copies so we can play co-op over Xbox Live (I gave her my old 360 when I got the HALO3 version)....
The only bad part about the demo - it'll have your crying for just a few more turns when it ends.

Hmm I'm more of a RTS guy but it is Sid's game here so I'll prob rent it and try it out first. The only turn based strategy game I enjoyed was Alpha Centari.

Ok, so here's the deal. I am a huge Civ fan. Have been since it's started. My favorite game was Civ 3. When I got Civ 4, I was EXTREMELY disappointed. Now this game won many awards and got a very positive response. By Civilization standards though, Civ 4 didn't cut it. The religion thing was good, but other that it was just a bust for me. This game looks like an expansion of Civ 4. Maybe even worse. So this might be good by game standards, but is it good by Civ standards.

I've never been a Civ fan because I'd never got in to it, but the demo for this blew me away. Can't wait to pick it up.
Perhaps on the PS3, so I've got something to play...
