About this product
Product Information
Players are invited to conquer the world in an afternoon, with the first version of Sid Meier's Civilization designed for consoles. Civilization may be the most archetypically "PC" game series in all of PC gaming, so significant adjustments were made in refitting it for Xbox 360, PS3, DS, and Wii. Developed from the ground up by Firaxis Games, Civilization Revolution aims to streamline the Civ experience without dumbing it down. Civ vets will find simpler choices among such granular-level gameplay elements as tech tree advances, tile production, and military units, but the global-level influences of technology, economy, and armed forces interact with the same complexity as they do in other versions of the game.<br><br>In Civilization Revolution, the player takes the role of an enduring, supremely powerful ruler, who leads a tribe of people from pre-historic beginnings through the ancient, medieval, industrial, and modern eras, to eventually become the most powerful nation on the planet (and perhaps even beyond). Each turn, players make decisions about which technologies to research, what city improvements to build, how many military units to train and support, and whether to go to war or seek peace with competing civilizations. Food, research, and money are generated each turn, according to the types of terrain in the civilization's territory and the allocation of labor and infrastructure. A civilization can expand its territory by establishing new cities in unclaimed areas, or by taking over cities belonging to other nations.<br><br>Maps are randomly generated for each game, and players can adjust various set-up and difficulty options. While interfaces and appearances vary, all versions of Civilization Revolution feature the same content and run on the same rule set. All versions support multiplayer games for up to four over an internet connection.Product Identifiers

Nothing like it on consoles....any console.
Great play against AI but AWESOME play via multiplayer using modem. Must have 2 PS3s, 2 copies of game, and a WiFi modem to play two player in same house but it is SO worth it. Literally the best and most unique game on any console period! I own every system and more games than I can count and I recommend this game above all others. Never plays the same way twice. Each civilization has unique abilities. Great graphics. Awesome strategy game. No bad language! Strategy - turn based gameplay at its best. Games last a couple of hours. Be prepared to be amazed then be prepared to be heartbroken when you find out that this game won’t be returning to consoles on newer systems.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Fine game that pales in comparison to its PC counterparts
Civilization Revolution isn't a bad game - on the contrary, it's a good game. But that doesn't seem like enough in the world of Civ Meier's Civilization. The game, on it's own is fun to play, has decent variety in challenges and difficulty, and has gotten me more than my money's worth in entertainment time. The problems exist only when compared to other Civilization Games. Civilization has long been a PC franchise and in the interest of streamlining this for consoles much of the charm has been lost. Civilization Revolution has the following drawbacks when compared to the PC versions of Civilization: Much less robust diplomacy options. Far fewer playable civs. Shallower AI. It's also worth noting that players do LOVE the multiplayer in Civilization Revolution BUT the servers for this version are all shut down so unless you are playing on a LAN with multiple copies, TVs, and PS3s, that won't be an option for you. Ultimately, the game is fun and if you really need to have this on a console or you are new to Civilization it will probably be just fine. But if you are familiar with the franchise and have a PC that can run it, you'll find a lot more depth in the PC versions of Civilization VI, Civilization: Beyond Earth, Civilization V, and even Civilization IV.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

FUN GAME! Not for fast paced gamers! Gr8 for old skool computer style gaming
Not the best controls since it mimics the computer franchise, but its fun and super cool they made this on ps3. Reminds me of age of empires 2 that was on ps2 but a little more user friendly. A++ If youre a fast paced gamer skip this, but if you wanna waste your days away playing a slow strategic chess like game then get it now and just go with it :pVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good Light Version of PC Game
Most things are heavily simplified and I wish there was better map control like inspecting terrain or having a far zoom for the map. Still, it feels like Civ and plays much faster, which is a good thing.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A great game.
I've had a lot of fun with this game since the days of the PS3s prime. While very simplified compared to other Civilization games, its still a challenge. Highly recommendedVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
