GiN Review: Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution

Todd Hargosh Writes:

"When I first played Sid Meier's Civilization back in 1991, I had no idea that it would be a huge part of my life. Not only was it the first PC title I played, it was also a game that was so addictive, so enjoyable, that it was able to keep me playing until four in the morning, and even then I still had that feeling of "just one more turn."

Since then I have played all four PC versions, as well as its sci-fi sequel Alpha Centauri (another series that desperately needs a remake) but since leaving the PC gaming scene due to the insane price of upgrading ($500 for a graphics card to play Crysis) I wondered if Civ would ever make an impressive console title (and no the Super NES version didn't count.) But on the other hand, my concern that a console version of Civ would end up being dumbed down in order to satisfy the short attention span console gamer was a constant worry. Thankfully with Civ Revolution that is not the case, as even though games are much shorter than its PC brethren, they still play great and are just as addictive."
