There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My only other complaint is not being able to choose map or the game speed of the game. I also have mixed feelings about the resource system. While i do like the ability to have the resource available to you as long as it's in your cites radius i also wished that it was like Civ 4 where the Civ that has horses nearby would make horses while the other civs were still stuck making archers and maceman. All in all it's a fun game that just has minor things that are mainly preference since casual players will enjoy the easier mechanics while the hardcore civ fans will have liked the more complex system at or near the Civ 4 system.
Update 7/4/11:
The great thing about the console port is that you do not have to worry about having to meet system requirements, upgrading video card, lag and/or turn delays. Civ 4/5 would have you waiting about 1-2 mins for each turn to finish due to lag and AI turn delays. On Multiplayer most games have a 60 second timer (game option can have no turn timer or 30-90 seconds per turn) for all players. So you can take the entire 60 seconds or take 20 seconds and just have to wait no more than 40 more seconds before the next turn starts which is awesome. Most turns are complete by all 4 players within the first 30 seconds so you don't have to wait long for the next turn.
I forgot to mention the freeze of doom in Multiplayer in my previous review. About 75%-90% of Multiplayer Games freeze or are frozen by cheaters who will freeze you on purpose so that they get the easy win when they are losing. It is not uncommon for a player to have a dominating tech lead only to be frozen by a sore loser. Then the game becomes a waiting game to see who can leave the 360 on all night before the other(s) leave, because they can't stand staying in a frozen game just to get 1 win 12 hrs later in the waiting game. Meanwhile the cheater who caused the freeze can't tolerate ruining his undefeated streak of 200-0 so he will leave the 360 on until he gets the win even if it takes 24 hrs of waiting for that one win, which is very sad and lame.
Multiplayer games usually end early due to rage quits, or freezes. Typical games last no more than 0 AD (first 40 turns) or about 30 mins. The few games that do last a long time and may go into the 1900s-2000s, have already been decided during the 1500s-1700s most of the time (due to a dominating tech lead). So players tend to wait until the 1900s-2000s to start wars with each other (to prevent the other players from winning) since the player(s) will have the final end game units and the techs they need to do whatever victory condition they are going for.
There's no point, IMHO, comparing each feature between the PC game and the console version. There are MUCH more features, subtleties and overall complexity in the PC game so it isn't even a fair comparison. The console game is a very simplified version and the question should be if it's still as fun. I say: it is!
Bottom line, this is a fun game that keeps the Civ spirit of the game and is not less additictive than the PC game. It looks good and the controls are very intuitive.
Some features I would love if they added/changed are:
* there is limited 'zoom out' and no way i've seen to view the entire map
* I felt need for a city 'comparison screen' that will list all my cities and how they are doing in terms of populations, food, production, science etc.
* religion and government should have better visibility and control
* war is not like Civ 5 i.e. you need to stack many units. I kind of liked what they did in Civ 5 where you can no longer stack units in a single square.
* diplomacy is not clear. In one game, I was at war but the other side kept offering me all kinds of deals. I guess it's not black and white and I just need to get used to it
but having said all that, the game is still a VERY good game and like the PC CIV version, it can get very addictive.
Civilization Revolution is a turn based strategy game that gives you an elevated view of all cities you have discovered on the game map. The game gives you of factions such as the French, led by Napoleon, The Americans, led by President Lincoln, etc.
The game is less violent and more cartoon-like than the previous games in the series, making it great for kids. In addition to this kids actually have to THINK when they play it, not just run around shooting or stabbing monsters or other people like in some other video games.
The game starts in the Ancient era, then moves to the Medieval era, then the Industrial era, until you reach the Modern era and even a little after that!
There is also a wide range of buildings you can build such as Libraries, Factories, Shipyards, Barracks, Archery Ranges, and Traders.
In addition to regular buildings you can build Wonders like: Stonehenge, Da Vinci's Workshop, The Pharos Lighthouse of Alexandria, The Himeji Samurai Castle, The Eifel Tower, The World Fair, and even The Manhattan Project.
GOVERNMENT even comes into play in this game, you can have Monarchy, Republicanism, Democracy, Communism, Fundamentalism, and even Despotism.
Finally, how to win the game. There are a few different approaches (as usual). Scientific, Cultural, Military, and Economic.
Scientific: Reach the Modern Age and build a spaceship to go to Proxima Centari.
Military: Wipe out three factions and hold all of their cities.
Cultural: Build fifteen winders and construct the United Nations.
Economic: Make all the other Factions go Bankrupt.
Top reviews from other countries
The graphics, game-play and detail are pretty much as good as the PC version. However, there could be some more customizations such as the map, continent to water proportion, map size etc... But the funny advisors talking in nonsense language but with really meaningful intonations of silly sounds, is a really good addition, making the game even more fun!
I just finished playing one complete game and there were no crashes, though occasionally, there would a slight lag when the game was switching to a different screen.
Overall, I'm very happy and would definitely recommend this game.
