Civilization Revolution Review
I rented Civilization Revolution from GameFly and I’m completely addicted to it. I’ve not played a Civ game in years, but I had forgotten how long the matches are. Some of the rounds I’ve played on the harder difficulties have taken 3 or 4 hours depending on what type of victory I’m going for. The only issue I have with CivRev is that I tend to loose track of time while playing. I guess that is not the games fault, but my own. I’ll get to the point where I should save and go do something else, but instead I just keep telling myself “just one more turn.”
Since Civilization Revolution is on the console and not the PC they have taken out a lot of the micro-managing from previous games. Personally I like it this way. Makes they game a little less taxing, but in easier difficulty settings you’re pretty much going to dominate.
Civilization Revolution has some pretty fun graphics, but the music gets a little tiring. Personally, I tend to ignore it, but if I notice it after a couple hours I turn on the radio.
There is a really fun set of achievements ranging from pretty easy to really difficult. They will take quite a while because you have to win at least once match with each race and for each victory type.
If you;ve not tried the CivRev demo yet I would definitely recommend trying it out, but be warned that you’ll loosehours of your live playing.
I'm an tech fan and avid gamer. Looking to have some fun and try new gadgets.
