Civilization Revolution for the PS3 is a Stellar game. I have been a Civ fan for a long time and to tell you the truth, I was worried about how this game would turn out because most PC games like Civilization just don't work out on the consoles.
Thankfully, this is not true for Civilization Revolution. This game takes everything that was good in the PC series and makes it work so damn good. They also took a look at everything that was long and drawn out in the PC series and they made it work smarter and faster, adding some automation so that the game flow, which is a huge thing in this game, is done at a great speed, keeping the gamer intent on their game play. The fun just keeps rolling out.
There are many different modes in the game as well, including Head to head over PSN or against CPU either one is really good and challenging. Gameplay over the PSN against others is sped up with many options to suit your needs.
Also Co-op is a lot of fun, you can play against your friend or you can work together to beat on the CPU or other feeble rulers that think they can rule the world.
The Sound is done well and the music is not just the same thing repeating over and over again, there is a good mix while you go through the ages.
For a game that has generated a huge following on the PC this console version or compact version of the series has made inroads that will build a new following and new followers that will be here, I hope, for a long, long time.
This is a game that any strategy gamer will enjoy.
Dorkly: "History is written by the winners, and that applies to games, too. While we hold up our post-apocalyptic wasteland adventures, period piece assassinations and Liberty City crime sprees on a pedestal, we would do well to remember the little guys. These underseen, criminally underplayed games didn't do well critically or commercially, but they were still wonderful experiences. Here's a small list of recommendations of unsung heroes of the PS3/Xbox 360/Wii era."
Alpha Protocol has some fantastic ideas in its conversation and story progression due to choices. I really enjoyed my time with it.
A spy rpg can be done with amazing results if handled correctly.
God Hand
Partly because I just recently discovered it and its insane.
What a gold nugget.
XMNR: 2K Games and Firaxis Games officially unveiled “Civilization: Beyond Earth” at a PAX East, which ended Sunday. The storied franchise heads for the stars for the second time in its twenty-three year history but the history of Sid Meier’s just-one-more-turn creation is as interesting as the games themselves.
Sim City is an obvious choice, but what other games can be used to teach youngsters - and oldsters - useful skills and interesting facts?
Man..
This game saved my ass when my internet was out for two weeks.
Almost every game i play is played online but, i ended up playing the single player for like 6 days straight! Got hooked on it.
Lots of fun & replay value.
Good score for a fantastic game !
Though I do prefer the PC Civ games, this one was a lot of fun. Not a bad buy at all if you don't have a decent gaming PC.
this is a great strategy game anyone can pick up, I played the demo and I got hooked. but I don't have the cash for it :(
