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....
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.
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.
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.
Civilization:Revolution - not for fans of the PC version August 1, 2008 8 out of 13 found this review helpful
I guess I should have read reviews on this product before purchasing it. Any assumption I made that any company that would place such a well known product on the market would take advantage of the power of the Playstation 3, and live up to the reputation of Sid Meier, the game I have played on a PC or MAC for the last decade, was completely and totally wrong. As it regards game play, it is way too easy to win compared to the PC version, and represented no challenge whatsoever.
I think the most annoying part of the game are the Advisers - they chirp with this shrill high-pitched garble. I mentioned this to my friends and colleagues... and those who like the game mention that they still have to turn the sound down, or just off.
The expectations represented by the franchise, the power of the PS3, the lame gameplay, the cartoonish characterurization (as in characature, not character), the incredibly annoying "speech", represent one of my greatest disappointments I have experienced in a game in many many years.
