There are few games that stand the test of time and earn the title "legendary." Civilization is one of those games, a real-time-strategy game (RTS) that's deep enough to make other games seem trivial at best. Civ's fans are legion, and for the first time, franchise designer Sid Meier has decided to extend the series' reach to console gamers via Civilization Revolution for PS3 and Xbox 360. The next-gen consoles have seen a few RTS games, most notably EA's The Lord of the Rings games and Command & Conquer 3, but no one has come close to hitting the sweet spot. Microsoft hopes to hit that target with Halo Wars, but that's still a ways off. The key issue with all of these titles is the control scheme, something Sid Meier and his team focused on intently with Civilization Revolution. Did it succeed?
