Civilization remains one of the world's top selling PC game series with over 8 million units sold and is recognized by the press as one of the greatest game franchises ever created.

In Civilization, players strive to become Ruler of the World by establishing and leading a civilization from the dawn of man into the space age waging war, conducting diplomacy, discovering technologies, going head-to-head with some of history's greatest leaders, and building the most powerful empire the world has ever known.

5 out of 5 stars Sid Meier- Civilization Revolution   August 15, 2008
L. Porter (Mooers Forks, NY)
My 11yr old son absolutely loves this game. It is a strategy based ds game.


4 out of 5 stars I love this game!!!   August 15, 2008
Peter Galamaga (Bedford, NH)
It was very hard for me to find this game in stores - sold out everywhere. Got lucky and happened to be in the store when someone returned a copy because he also has it for PSP.

I love this game. It's easy to learn and I can just sit in bed and play people off of my wireless network.

One downside - I've been up til 1 AM for the last few nights!!!




3 out of 5 stars Can a horseman really defeat a bomber plane?   August 15, 2008
Robbie Hildebrand
Answer no. Or so you would think. However in Civilization Revolution it can for some unknown reason. I find this single aspect to be the most frustrating since it has zero basis in any form of common sense. I mean, come on? How propsterous is that no matter what the context? The game has simple graphics and simple gameplay and can entertain, but for any semi-serious gamer the game ends too early with a ridiculous time limit and the AI seems to cheat. But it travels well and can frustrate you on the go, but you'll keep coming back to it anyways. If you liked other civilization games you'll still like this one and I do enjoy it despite its flaws. Overall conclusion the pros outweigh the cons although not by much.


3 out of 5 stars doesn't live up to the legacy   August 12, 2008
Rorke Haining (Seattle)
(I'm most familiar with Civ1 and Civ2 for PC, and have not played much Civ3 or Civ4. I review from this perspective.)

Civilization Revolutions is designed to be a quick and light turn-based strategy game. It aims to be a stripped down version of the PC smash hit "Civilizations". It's an ambitious goal; how do you remove half a masterpiece, and will it be a great game (or at least a worthwhile game) if you do? As tricky as this goal is, it can be done. (See the board game Puerto Rico and it's stripped down version San Juan.) Unfortunately, Civilization Revolutions misses the mark and strips away most of the fun, too.

It's difficult to pin down why this game fails. Several of the simplifications seem like good ideas. For example, in the original PC game, you had to painstakingly build roads by hand on every square where you wanted a road. Now, you can simply buy a road between two cities in 1 turn and be done with it. The courthouse makes a lot more sense. It used to reduce corruption (at least in early Civ variants), but corruption has been eliminated and now a courthouse expands the usable territory for a given city. Instead of allocating individual citizens to specific territory to harvest, you set an overarching tilt (e.g. more production, more science, more food, more cash, or a balance). There's also an interesting element with "great people" who can join your civilization if you lure them with culture. Despite these and many smaller improvements, it's just not a very fun game.

I wanted to like this game, and have played 3 games through to completion, but will now be putting it down.

This game is both harmed by and harms the name Civilization. If it hadn't been linked to that excellent brand, and if it hadn't needed to be as close to Civilization as possible, it might have done better. It's not awful, and I might play it again if I run out of other worthwhile games (unlikely). Moreover, the designers are clearly "cashing in" or "selling out" on the Civilization brand by putting out a mediocre game with that name and charging a premium for it. I will be more wary of purchasing the next Civilization product. It might have felt like a better game at $20 rather than $30.

Bottom line: if you enjoy turn-based strategy, either of the 2 Advanced Wars titles for DS is a better choice.



5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Adaptation of Civ to the DS   August 9, 2008
T. Stetzer (Pittsburgh, PA United States)
Okay, I won't beat around the bush: this is by far my favorite DS game of all times. I was a fan of Civ on the computer way back when the first version came out. For whatever reason I haven't played any of the subsequent ones though. Well, the Civ Revolution rekindled the magic and I haven't been able to put my DS down for weeks since getting it. I play until my batteries die or the wife hassles me enough to make me stop. Controls are an excellent mix of stylus and buttons, graphics are great for the style of game, and gameplay is excellent. This one gives me great hopes for the kind of games its possible to bring to the DS in the future!
