Civilization Revolution (PlayStation 3)


Civilization revolution is a game in which you build a civilization from the ground up. I have played none of the PC or other Civilization games, so I cannot compare between them.

When you start a new game, you will chose a leader and a country. There's a wide range of historical figures to select from such as Napoleon, Ghandi, Catherine the Great, and many others. This will also decide which nation you're playing as, and each nation invokes certain bonuses as the game progresses.



You start with one village which will grow depending on what you choose to build. You can make units such as warriors or settlers. In each town you can also create buildings like libraries, markets, Churches, and many other things depending on your choices in game. Each thing you build will take a certain number of turns based on how many resources you have. It's important to consider food and resources in your area when you have your settlers build a new location.

You'll also have technologies to research every certain amounts of turns, which will influence the things you can build. If your towns are near to each other you can also spend gold to build roads between them which will speed up travel. Gold can also be used to speed up the process of building your units, buildings, and wonders. You can move your units around the map depending on how many spots they can move per turn, and you can engage other nations or barbarian forts in combat, as well as discover new locations.



There are four main ways to win the game. The first is by taking over every other nation in the campaign. I believe there are 4-5 nations total in each campaign. Another way is to achieve a cultural victory, where you need to build and obtain 20 wonders and/or great people and then build the United Nations. You can also win by being the first to send something in to space, or by obtaining 20 000 gold.

You can also choose your difficulty in your single player games, allowing for different levels of challenges. There's also a multiplayer and online feature as well. You can also select scenarios which will influence how the game is played, such as speeding the game up, making other nations more hostile, and other such things depending on how you like to play.



Overall it was a fun game. It's pretty short to play through one campaign but luckily there's a lot of replayability in how you complete your game and which nation you play as well. You also unlock gifts and trophies to collect. I had fun with the game and I plan to play it again. It can sometimes be a bit unclear in the beginning as they don't necessarily explain things well, but other than that I don't have many complaints. While it was fun, it isn't something I'd play over and over again without a break in between.

Verdict:
IT WAS OKAY
