I have been a PC CIV player for many years and thought I would give this new console version a try.
Pros:
Like the graphics
Fun Game
Cons:
Very simplistic compared to PC version
Small maps
Only five max players per map (result of small map)
Inability to customize victory conditions
Overall a nice little game but don't expect the depth of the PC version here.
Rating:  -
I had expectation for this iteration of the game. Problem is, I like the PC version. This one feels too short and boring after a while.
Conclusion: If you're new to civilization, try it. You may like it. If you're a veteran civilization player, stay away.

Honestly, this game does not look like it's finished. But I have not been addicted to a game like this since Sims! My girlfriend bought me this game Saturday and I was so happy. I had played the demo on my PS3 and was so surprised on how organized the game was. It's like a big ol' chessboard!
Living here in America it put a lot of political and historical events into a bigger picture. I'm serious, this game made me think. Being that the game does have an end, there are pros and cons ... Read More

Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution
This game was fun for the first couple of times you played it, but quickly got repetetive after a while. You can only play it until year 2100 CE which is a short time if you want to get all the technologies (years go by really quickly). Also it would have been more enteratining if you would have had some of the diplomacy options that the computer has.
Rating: -
I've never played any of Sid's games before. I'm a fan of Age of Empires (I & II), Master of Orion II, Railroad Tycoon II and some of the Starcraft/Warcraft games. I thought this game is very playable, easy to understand and has a pretty quick learning curve. I haven't progressed past the Warlord skill level, one up from the beginner. It gets pretty hard pretty fast. The advisors and thier interaction is funny at first but weak as time goes on. Fortunately, you can move past them quickly.
