  • Try to use "good" and "well" correctly. I agree with the review though.

  • @Vogel885 spammer jk

  • there's so many things that were left out of this.... even 4 is better.... but civ five is the best :D!

  • @TheAwesomeness96 Let's get this out of the way. Civ 4 & 5 are better games, but Rev was just not made for old Civ players. It's for newcomers and in that, it is a lot of fun.

  • maybe its because i havent played the series since the 3rd game, but i didnt mind this. i can play with my little brother and everything. its not that bad. 9/10 because i enjoyed it

  • how do u get an ICBM on the game? i rlly want one

  • @artatmusic Research Atomic Theory and build the Manhatten project

  • i have this game down to a science now

  • I'm glad the advisors don't talk because once you've played it a ton you really don't want to keep hearing them say the same thing

  • good review this game is really cheap now lol i can get it for 10 bucks

  • This game compared to CIV5 for PC? Will I still enjoy this one on ps3 even tho i'm playing CIV5 on PC atm?

  • Well in this game, money CAN buy happiness or even victory.

  • i have the same keyboard mistakes i play cansole games and i have mistakes with the keyboard games civilization v

  • nice review, i wanted to see what civilization games where like as i am a fan of strategy games e.g. age of empires

    the only thing would be to rehearse what you are going to say before doing the review, i didn't find it a problem but it would have been better without the pauses or the repeated sentences

    thanks a lot for the review

  • I never played civ before this cuz I never had a good com, but u r wrong it's not made for those who never played a civ before, I liked it until I saw how dumbed down it is, it's made for those who have never seen a civ game and little kids, I hope they make a new console one that is not dumbed down at all which can happen

  • The reason why this game is bad is beacusse its been turned to a retarded piss of shit

  • "Civilization has done a really well sound effects, or really has very well sound effects as well." - What?

    Seriously though, give the guy a break. It's a good review, just could do with a little more rehearsal. I've only recently started doing voiceover vids and it is tougher than it seems. Check my vids out! (Shameless plug...)

  • lol in siv 2 your advisers did talk XD

  • is chat availabe, for the online play?

  • Good review i dunno why people are hating =S morons.

  • there was no mini map! why doesnt any body say that the navigation of the map sucked ass

  • HE WOULD GIVE THE JOKER A RUN FOR HIS MONEY.

  • pronounce your words dude

  • @billaroyamaha2 it;s fine to me... He's probably from the east coast.

  • Great comprehensive review. The only thing I would complain about is the first 30 seconds that should have been cut.

  • I feel that it is a shame you can only play to 2100AD. In the PC games you can play for as lock as you like

  • Of course its rather more simplified as compared to Civ IV, but if this is the only Civ you have access to I think its great.

  • @Ockman nothing. . . nothing at all.

  • the people who designed this game has boobs on the brain, all the girl leaders have giant jugs!!

  • @44supernova and what's wrong with that?

  • @Ockman It's inaccurate >_>

  • 2:28, exhales a massive amount of AIR

  • u can't speak to save ur life

  • this is my first civilization game but i knew about the others and i felt that it was dumbed down as well

  • u repeated your self :P besides that your still better than me rofl

  • ive played alot of civs and this looks kinda childish

  • ive never played this before and am about to get it.... is it still easy to play people online or has it died down alot since its been out for a few years?

  • wow ur video camera sucks ass

  • "You tell your people what you want them to make, to build, learn, build"...

    lmao... good though...

  • @willagem28 what is the spit discussing? hehehehe

  • @willagem28 what the hell are you talking about his voice is normal

  • @willagem28 Discussing what?

  • Is Civ Revolution better than Civ 4?

  • I think the game is great, had a lot of thought and history in it and I'm going to be sad when I have to take it back to blockbuster.

  • I heard people talking about this game in school and i am a huge civ fan i really like 3 and i didn't say it but i guess i should have that they should try civ 4 (or 3) they are super addictive

  • ok how bout the people who never played the pc version of civilization..will they enjoy this game?

  • @JustCause2Club i love it and i never played the pc version

  • i wich the it would have looked cooler of the ds it just a bland 2d map but it has a lager map so ya

  • Review is pretty spot on. I have only played Civ 2 & this version, so in some respects it was good, others not so good. I would have loved an option to just keep playing after winner was decided. also, more army unit types.. marines, paratroops etc would have been good.

  • thx i will buy this game now for 20.00

  • u nailed the review i agree completely

  • i agree with the dumbing down and the free play, but also its april 2010 now and no one plays multiplayer so tht sux

  • im selling my civilization on the ps3 on ebay its sitting at 99 pence lol.

  • A great, (if a bit stripped down) game that I recommend to anyone who loves strat games and is looking for one on the consoles. Two thumbs up!

  • Good and unbaised

  • What's the likelihood that Civ 5 on PC will be more like Revolution than Civ III? Unfortunately, pretty high, I think. :(

  • @HardWarUK No chance - why would they make a console game for a PC audience ON a PC?

  • found this game on the side of the road. Can't complain

  • does it work?

  • @DudeGuyNimNim

    Ya, the manual being compleatly messed up and the case being all scratched and cracked but the disk was almost new

  • nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @LobstersAreMetal Wait, you litererly found Civilization Revoloution on the side of a road? Does that make sense?.

  • @LobstersAreMetal metaphoricly? or did u realy find it on the side of a road......cause thats awesome luck

  • @gearsofwarhero1 It was just sitting on the side of the road. The case was cracked and but the disc works fine

  • @gearsofwarhero1 dude, really?

  • @LobstersAreMetal ahahhaa serioussly?

  • @LobstersAreMetal not even kidding, i found this game in a random car.

  • @TheMinnesotaLegends im pretty sure thats illegal

  • @magic4445 why wouldent it be? its beast! its like a sport.

  • @LobstersAreMetal Seriously?

  • @LobstersAreMetal Hahahahahha loooooooooooooooool

  • I have a question.....everytime i play....i always end up having my game end by like the year 2500ad so i never get a chance to go into space and stuff like ive seen in other reviews. HELP

  • Sorry but you have basically just said this game is not as good because it is not on the PC. If you wanted a PC game you shouldn't have bought it as it was always goiing to be a Xbox game

  • Thanks for the review steve! I think im just gonna wait until civ5 comes out this fall instead of buying this console version now.

    5*

  • Not a bad review but you should use a couple breathing exercises or something before you start. You sounded really nervous.

  • this si a game snob hes not thinking from a normal persons perspective

  • @dimitriruler22 you know why? you know why? its your way your choice not like a fps its RTS okey? sorry if was mean :D got ps3? add me pm me backxD

  • the game wasnt ment for computer nerds like it once was. it was aimed to be more simple and easy to use for other gamers. i actually quite liked this game.

  • agree with steve... too simple.

    compared to other civs it's like sex and spontaneous ejaculation. it's good for a moment or two, but after it's over, you can't say "I'm a man"

  • You do realise that you have just called him both "stupid and a "retard" yet you yourself have managed use the word "funest" which isnt even proper english.

  • I'm a first timer at Civilization but I agree with you on most if not all accounts. It would have been nice to have a free play with endless game play.

  • THERES NO CAMPAIGN? ARE YOU SERIOUS!

  • Civilazation never has a campaign it can't have a story because then you would be stuck with building a civilazation like the computer wants you to the campaign is the normal free play like mode. If they made a campaign what could it be if you play the series and can find a good campaign then tell me

  • the start looked like you had a bad camera or you used a green screen wrong.

  • do you still play this game online in ps3 ?

  • I got this game for 20 bucks at gamestop.

  • really good review

    but an out of 10 score would be better

  • u no u should use numbers instead of grades

  • you know if your gonna review a game wouldnt it be easier for people to understand if you just gave numbers and not grades like say the sound is a 8 or something much easier rather than A-

  • du you stil play the game maybe you can play it with me???

  • write down what your gunna say before you make a video or if you did learn it better

  • Thank you for uploading this video, I just got this game for my B-Day and all of the other videos didn't help me out with what it was like before I broke the seal. I think I'll have some fun with this game, thanks for all of what you explained to me, now I know that it is fun =P

  • do you guys still play this game online in ps3 ?

  • I Disagree I too am a hardcore stratagist but the game offers multiple ways to play and single player is a fantastic way to up your skill and i recomend you try Empire: Total War

  • good review

  • Öh salahadin is not arab?

    It was a kurish leader :)

  • Ill check out the site and i played the demo and i liked it i wanna buy this game for my 360 but i have to send my xbox in first because i put a disc in and it says open tray anyway good review!

  • you really shoudnt use photobooth ;]

  • I like the reveiw when they come out with bigger maps tell me

  • your green screen could use a few adjustments

  • i had never played a civilsation game b4 and i hated this game. I just found my self overloaded with menus and my advisors going bla bla bla. Will i prefer civilisation 3 or 4. Im probably not the biggest fan of turn-based strategy but i quite like them sections on total war.

    Good review.

  • no offense but have you thought about how incredibly hard and complex it would make the game. It's a console game and you only have thirteen buttons. So controlling everything like you can do in the PC games is almost impossible. it would be annoying.

  • u suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

  • great game

  • can civ iv run on vista

  • Yes.

  • thank u for tellin me

  • i have it for nds and its really kind of crappy looking but i still have fun with it

  • its a lot more fast paced then all the other civs but i still really like it

  • loved the demo of this game

    im totally buying

    great review by the way

  • I downloaded the demo and it was great... so I'm off to buy this game... i think

  • Gonna play civ 4...

  • i got this in cex 4 £8 for ps3 and i love it

  • really civ 3 is better than civ 4 exp packs too it looks like chess when u play it but this one looks like checkers srry e 10 and up wut where u thinking

  • the game only lasts like 30 minutes

  • in my opinion instead of buying civilisation revolution for £39.99 you should buy civilisation 3 or 4 for pc for about £5-£10 .

  • I think that maybe with other reviews you should write a script, then narrate it, so it sounds a little more professional.

    Also, you spent a little too much time on graphics and sound.

  • civ1 wasn' t about graphics... but all other parts just improved in graphics, but decreased in gameplay... shame on sid.

    don't buy this commercial crap.... get a copy of civ1!!!

  • I am a recreational XBOX 360 player. I usually play shooters, action/adventure. I am making a transition to add rpg's to my mix. Would this be a good start?

  • this is not an rpg but go for mass effect it is a very good rpg as well as fallou, it is very good as well

  • walkanator1 is right. This is not an RPG. It's a turn based strategy game. I think a very good one although alot of hardcore strategy gamers say it's too simplistic & lacks the complexity of other games in the series but I think that's it's strength because it makes it more accessible to people who aren't hardcore strategy gamers. If you're after a good RPG for the 360, check out Oblivion (Game Of The Year Edition) - 1 of the best!

  • RPGs? no this isnt a good start for RPGs, oblivion would be, this would a excellent starter for strategy games

  • i'v never played this game before but dosen't look bad is it worth buying for $30.00

  • dude ive had the game 5 hours and im already trying to find the other civilization games! i love it!

  • I love how half of this fucking review is talking about the sound and graphics. WTF? Fuck this guy.

  • well they are usually a pretty big part of any game durrrrr

  • Durrr? What exactly does 'durrr' mean? I realize that graphics and sound are a big part of the game, but the guy repeated himself a thousand times and could have shortened the review by several minutes by simply summing the whole thing up.

  • i play multiple games for my ps3 and my pc namely cod4, civ rev, dow and expansions and i just wanna say that i agree with you, these maps should be alot bigger and there should just be more of a fun time with it like free play, i miss that i love winning without domination and its gettin harder and harder since were so close together!

  • I regret watching this video. Dont hear me off the wrong way, you did a great job with the video but after hearing how great the past games were i feel that i maybe should have bought one of those instead. I personally love the game and havent been able to stop playing it sence i got it. How ever i do still agree with u on alot of points. I would love bigger maps and i feel that it needs more nations on the board at one time. Plus only one nuke bugs me!

  • I have this game for ps3, and i never knew that this game has a time limit until i started reading these comments. Maybe because im just finishing up on King difficulty and it hasn't taken me that long to beat it...yet.

  • i would rather have the civ 4 expansion pack because it has more in-depth stategy than civ revolution, costs less, longer play, and i like the fact that civ 4 applies to the intelligent guy rather than the rich idiot

  • this game was made more to appeal to the avg console gamer, not the superior PC master race

  • yeah civ rev is way too short. bts is so much better

  • Civ4 +Beyond the sword + Warlords only for 19,99€

  • From the review, u would think u really hated the game. balance ur argument more and say more positive things rather than slightly positive things!

  • Stop winging about not being able to play it on a keyboard. How can u criticise the xbox version for not using a keyboard!! Idiot!

  • great review.loved it cause you talk about all possible points.

  • Why cant this guy talk?

  • your hardcorly gay

  • LOL indian archers versus 10 tanks!!!

  • love this game, but i hate the time/year limit

  • At first I thought that I hated it too, but I noticed that every time I managed to beat the game before the time limit of 2100 AD.

  • you'll notice that you will never be hooked on that amount of time. as soon as you get better you'll rarely reach the year 2000.

  • is this game worth buying

  • I haven't played it, so I don't know. but i say, go for Civilization IV (on PC or Mac). It's far more complex. It has a learning curve that can be a little hard to get through, but after that, you'll probably not want to leave it in the coming weeks.

  • trust me when i say this youll regret buying civ4 it wont be the game you thnk it is but on the other hand civ rev is 100 times better in every f*** way

  • no your wrong civ is the original civ 4 is much better dont listen to this blowhard

  • i give this game an A+ on everything!

  • This is another game that could've been better. Why did'nt they do like Empire Earth and have big maps and have units fight like they would in real life.Not one at a time.

  • becuz this is an TBS not a RTS

  • yes, his comment was rather stupid IMO

  • lol i get pissed on the demo im about to kill some one and it say thank you for plying lmao!

  • same it made me so mad that i hadn't even discovered the wheel yet lol

  • OMG they are tricking everybody it says it has 4players offline, BUT NO. And it does'nt support trophies. I'm going to deliver it back

  • thanks

  • street fighter IV isn't worth $59.99, not this

  • wow wait a minute what happened ??

    The graphis it's like something from Roald Dahl or Dr Seuss. Why so cartoony i liked civ 3 not the terain and stuff but the people on the diplomacy thing. I have been playing civ 4 for a while and it is alright but i really miss the botton in the city to show over the city like kinda a picture

  • cool game. your right though,.......its not as satisfying to screw over your enemies. ALL MY CIV PEOPLE KNOW EXACTLY WHY! IT IS FUCKING HARD TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF RIVALS IN THE OTHER CIV GAMES!!! all newbies be warned,.......you may end up crying like a little girl if u think that the other civs are like this one.

  • i played the demo

    and loved it

    im about ready to go buy it

  • All in all a good game and online helps the reply value. Like you say evrything is smaller and shorter and less complex ( i understand why) but still annoying.

    Having been on civ since the first game, this is pale in comparison, still can waste many a hour on it playing friends and so on. I give it 8.5 out of 10

  • check out teh review on my page

  • the reason why they made the game like this is cuz console are for shooters and that kinda crap and they probally never played a stratgey so if you leave them with a hardcore complex game they wont ever play so its all about the buissness whos gonna buy it now mostlikey it is suitable for everyone

  • first, there are more shooters on PC than console. in any case the lack of a keyboard and mouse makes console play less geared towards a complex interface. PC controls are highly customizable and allow for more ease of play in strategy games. In my opinion that's the main reason for the simplistic nature of this game.

  • This game is awsome, the thing that you said about the graphics i think they r better that way because the graphics for the civ 4 I NEVER PLAYED but have seen gameplay vid of it does not look as good to me. And it looks less fun but i like that you can do more things but look to complicated to me.

  • I forgot something else, I want leaders to talk not mumble. Like each leader should talk in their language, for example English speaking people speak it, and advisors should english. BTW the harder the difficulty is the faster other Civs keep getting more technology even on the King difficulty I was forced to fight Civ armed with riflemen cannons and planes while I'm stuck with arrows and swordsmen. So how do you people keep up the competition against them on harder difficulties?

  • Revolutions is a good game and very simple. I think it's design for people who are starting to play the Civilization franchise. It's simple, and it's good even on the DS but the only thing I don't like is units have gone back to defensive, offensive strength bar so it can show a rifleman can destory a tank and aircrafts.

    I think Civilization on the PC is more in depth and fun and Revolutions is one of the many strategy games that are trying to get in the game consoles.

  • Do u like the game or not?

  • There are no mods...

  • the guy that put this video on youtube is cheater because he is about 500 years in front of other factions:)

  • maybe you should stop playing cheiftain and shit and go to deity cuz you guys are so "harcore" then complain about map size and shit

  • I know 5:22 tank vs. archers... somethings wrong..

  • i agree.... i ruined the game for myself cause i played on easy and did everything there is to do. im not big on how i can control every detail of my civilazation but this game is way to short i was thinking about getting civilzation 4. in your opion how long do u think it would take to beat. cause im looking for a civilization game that takes like a week or so to beat

  • I have both versions, and I love both of em. PC version is better because of the sheer personability of the CIV IV. Like design your maps, modding, etc etc.

    Also, well the computer inteface is just superior.

  • I found most people who loved the PC version arent as keen on the 360 version.

  • This guy has no idea what he is talking about. C'Mon man this game is meant for all ages that is the reason it is "dumbed down"as you say.This game is a must have for any Civ.gamer
