Video Game Reviews of Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution
Customer Review: Love all Sid Meier Games
Summary: 5 Stars
While this game runs similarly to many of the Civilization group of games, it has a different perspective, different goals and methods. While familiar in game play, there are new things to learn and new challenges for those who enjoy Civ.Customer Review: Really awesome strategy game.
Summary: 5 Stars
This game isn't about a story line. It's about strategy and lot's of it. It's about as straight forward as you can get. The Easy mode is what I'd suggest for people who want to either get acquainted with strategy games or just not think, but still play this genre of game. It gets harder only a reasonable amount as you go up in difficulty. There is no split screen, but you can easily connect online to somebody for a head to head match. All the fun facts that are in the game a pretty good bonus I'd say. You don't need to know the history behind the things, but it's just enough information to remain interesting. Overall, you really can't go wrong with this game unless you're going for achievements and you are really horrible at strategy games. Maybe the worst part is that you can spend hours on the game and not notice it. lolCustomer Review: Its not worth it
Summary: 2 Stars
Pros:
The turns do not have to be manually selected when there are no changes in the game play. Turns automatically cycle though if you have no available moves. I also liked the creating of armies with 3 separate groups of soldiers.
Cons:
BOOOORRRRING....
The game lacks the strategy from the previous versions.
You have no control over the workers, yes you can tell them what they should do, but I prefer control over them, to tell them where they need to go etc.
The game seems to cater to 5 year olds. Whats up with the goofy characters popping up on the screen talking gibberish. Very annoying. You can turn off the gibberish sounds but cant turn off the goofy characters. They just annoy you through the entire game. I literally expect Goofy to pop up, thats how goofy these characters look.
The is no auto explore. You gotta manually make each move.
The map is too small. You run into other Civs within a few moves.
The game is too short. I would like a little depth, thank you.
The cartoony like graphics were disappointed. I, and I am sure most other Civ fans, would have prefered a more realistic type graphics in the game.
Overall, as a Civ fan, I was highly disappointed in this game, even pre-orderd the damn thing. If you are a Civ fan, and would like to check out this game, wait til the price drops and see if you can get it for 5 bucks, because that is all it is worth to me.
Customer Review: Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved it! Accidentally wrote my review for the game in the strat guide. So vice versa here, the strat was nice easy to read and informative.Customer Review: Always liked the PC version, and this one is great too!
Summary: 5 Stars
I started playing Civ when it first came out umpteen years ago. It seems to keep getting better with age. I was quite excited to see the demo pop up on the 360, so I played it a few times just to see what things looked like. I was impressed, so went ahead and ordered it.
I have been having a blast!
My only complaint is there is no way to really get in and tweak the start of the game. You go up against a certain number of players, and the land is a certain size. I prefer to go all out and have a large area with lots of enemies, as that makes for a deeper experience.
As it is though, I am enjoying it, and at the end of the day that's all the counts to me.
