Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution

Civilization Revolution is one of the better strategy titles for the DS and the only one that delivers the full empire-building experience that made the series such a hit on the PC. Yes, a number of elements have been streamlined and simplified, but that makes Civilization Revolution a stronger game and a better fit for the handheld platform. It falls somewhat short in a number of key aspects of its presentation, particularly with regard to the cramped visuals and the occasional lack of information, but that doesn't stop it from being one of the more enjoyable strategy titles we've played this year.

Civilization Revolution for the DS is a distilled, streamlined version of the popular PC strategy series that succeeds despite its limitations.

"Civilization Revolution is a solid entry to the series and takes advantage of what the DS is capable of from a gameplay standpoint. While it falls short in several areas, it still stands as a worthy entry to most hardcore fans of the series."
