Excellent transition,

This review is from: Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution (Video Game)
The good:
- One of the most addicting games of all times makes its way to Xbox and the transition is very smooth. While this version has been re-written specially for consoles, it does keep most of the original gameplay. If you haven't done this already, download the demo and see for yourselves what this is all about.
- The game has 5 difficulty settings. For those of you that had trouble beating the demo - worry not. The easiest setting is extremely easy - unlike it was in the demo.
- All 16 civilizations are available right from the start. You can select any of them and play through skirmish missions, Game of the Week or a set of modified skirmishes. This last one has around 10-15 'missions' where the Skirmish rules have been changed. For example - on one map there are more and tougher barbarians, on other there is no diplomacy, etc. Game of the Week is being updated every Sunday and will allow you to play against the AI, in same exact conditions as all other XBox...Read more

Civilization now more civilized,
July 10, 2008 Brad Oneill (Phoenix AZ) - See all my reviews
= Fun: This review is from: Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution (Video Game)
This is the Civilization I have been waiting for! I have played through a full campaign and I have to say I love it. I love not having to build every road and micromanaging every square. They left all the good parts in but removed the tasks that became mundane towards the end of the other Civ titles.
It has the same technology trees as the other civ games so if you are familiar with them you will catch on quickly.
Multiplayer games now finish in 2-4 hours instead of 12 hours like the previous iterations of this franchise.
If you enjoyed Civ but were longing for faster game play this is the game for you.
This is what every turned based strategy war game should strive for.
the only problem I had with the game was the advisor and enemy animations were annoying to me at first but after the tutorial guy went away the other advisors kind of grew on me.
If world domination is a goal of yours and you don't think your current...Read more

A Console Strategy Game Done Right,
December 11, 2008 Mathew A. Centgraf "mcrproductions" (Mayville, WI, USA) - See all my reviews
= Fun: This review is from: Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution (Video Game)
This game is different. It is not the same as regular Civilization and it is not like any other console RTS out there. This game uses a very simplified version of Civilization and mixes it with some RTS elements. The game is simplified. And if you can't handle that it you mine as well just go play some Civ4. BUT, If you had a hard time getting into any of the Civ games but always held a great interest this is THE game for you.
In it's simplification Civilization Revolution holds a certain chess like aspect to it. When you move one of your warriors to the wrong place in a difficult match you'll end up wishing for a redo button. Every move counts on the harder difficulties.
Other awesome parts of this game includes the achievements, the colorful graphics, and the many different choices of leaders. Some problems include that the game can occasionally be off-puting when you play a 3 hour game and lose AND get no achievements. But often I learned from my mistakes and...Read more
