3 out of 5 stars civilization revolution   August 17, 2008
must need to be a fan of the old pc version or the old board game risk (dating myself!).....i never heard of the pc version of this and i always sucked at risk (stratego was way better).......anyway, the game itself was ok....graphics were good enough and the game play moved pretty fast but you really have to like these types of games to get anything out of it. i don't so those of you who do may want to ignore my review. those like me, well, may be try a different game.....this one would have been a fun rent but no way worth the money to buy it. there is very little re-playability to games like this for your average, non-internet gamers like myself.....my mistake.....may be gamefly will buy it from me.......have fun and check out madden 09!!!!!


2 out of 5 stars OK game but not great   August 12, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

If you like civilization you will like this maybe even love it, but don't get your hopes up this isn't much more than a port of the PC version of the game. The biggest drawback is the game play was not significantly improved for use with a console controller... Its a bit awkward and ineffective to more around the map and move troops. The game was also full of graphical glitches this was truly unacceptable, it also ran surprisingly slow. Very annoying. The graphics were ok and I expected much better for a PS3 Game. The sound design could have been better as well.... The more I write this review the more I realize how many issues I had with the game....


4 out of 5 stars Good fun   August 8, 2008
Really fun game. I've always enjoyed the Civilization games, and this one doesn't disappoint. It's so much fun playing this game on a HDTV.

It looks like the early multiplayer issues have been worked out with the latest patch. Graphics are decent, not the greatest, but make this by far the best looking Civ game.



1 out of 5 stars not good   August 4, 2008
  3 out of 9 found this review helpful

I agree with other people that this game is the worst aspects of the PC version with none of the good ones. It has nothing new and is frustrating to play. The PC version that came out years ago was hand above this.


4 out of 5 stars Like Risk with graffix and social issues.   August 3, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

If you enjoy the old school board game Risk and think the rest of mankind got it all wrong then this game is up your alley. You can choose just what you think is more important. Developing your mind or military might to dominate the world and create it as you see fit. I enjoy this game a lot. The only negative that prevented me from a five star rating is the lack of online competition (so hurry up and buy it) and the fact that the few times i have played online I found it difficult to invite from the friends list. However playing the computer is never the same game and quite enjoyable. Be sure to block off a good three hours to play (defiantly if your playing multi payer)but I promise it's worth the time. Look for bladerunner101, I'd love to play you.
