I’ve been playing Civilization Revolution a lot lately and I figured since this game never ends I should review it. As some readers know I was very addicted to the demo and that was a big reason as to why I bought the game. Let me first start off the review by saying I’m a huge FPS/Sports fan and I’ve never played a RTS until now. RTS has always been computer-only as they don’t translate well to console. That is until now.

Gameplay: The first and most impost thing is control. The makers of this game did a excellent thing in making this game simple and easy to use. At first you see it is easy to use and things are easy to manage and then you get into the meat and potatos of the game and how does the game handle? Well it handles just like it did when you started, very easy and managable. You can have 27 cities with 94 armies and it’s still easy to manage. It’s brilliant, I believe a caveman can play this game. But you know what it is simple to play and very in-depth as to what you can do.

Presentation: One thing I enjoy is the advisors. You get a military, building/research, and diplomact advisior that will give you insight onto other Civilizations. And it’s funny to listen to these guys talk to you as they speak some weird “Sims” language. It’s quite hillarious to hear what they say sometimes. And as you can see the graphics are cartoonish but it’s fun to see it. For everything that can be on the screen at once, the game handles it very well and everything just looks fun and fun to play.

Multiplayer: There is also the addition of multiplayer. Where you can play one on one, two on two, and a four way multiplayer. All of this online. Not only that, you can private chat player from the MP menu and make secret alliances. You can have private match, public matches, and of course ranked matches. And from my experience it handles everything just fine.

Overall: The biggest thing about the game is it is addictive and appeals to everyone. You just can’t stop playing the game. It has so much to do and so easy to play, anyone can play it and enjoy. Yet there is stuff for the experts to enjoy as well. My biggest gripe is you need a tutorial for beginners, the current system isn’t that good.
