Civilization Revolution Review?

The game's been out for over a week, and while I understand that the gaming sites are a little focused on E3 right now, I'm a little disappointed that I haven't seen a review for Civilization: Revolution from any major site. I'm pretty excited about the game, but what I've heard from the smaller sites has been a little bit uneven, so I don't really want to put down $30 right away.

Has anyone else purchased the game yet? What do you think?

I've been a fan of the Civ games since I plotted for hours in Civilization 2 on a 486 computer, and I've heard this one has been simplified a little bit, so I was wondering if anyone could give me a good honest opinion whether or not I should pick the game up.

well I rented the one for the 360, and that version was very simplified so I'm guessing on the DS its even more simple.paradigm68

Well, they're very different games. I'm looking for opinions on the DS version.

Being simplified doesn't really matter to me...if it makes the game a little quicker to play while retaining a lot of the strategy and depth, I'm in. I just want to make sure the game is technically sound and intuitive enough before I buy it

gamesradar reviewed it..

It looks like it could be pretty sweet on the DS. Though, I'm personally going to wait for a price drop regardless of the reviews!!

That is where your wrong. There actually the same game run on the same engine. Just get the game, don't wait foe gamespot to review it because they don't seem to like handheld games unless its a Final Fantasy game or Mario Kart . Gamespot still hasn't reviewed Rondo of Swords.

I just picked this game up a week ago, and I cannot stop playing it. Its very addictive and fun! Its in my top ten ds games for sure. I reccomend it.OilerBoy

I agree with this guy it is a very fun game!

I got it on the DS. I wasn't expecting it to be that good, but it's really fun. I highly recommend it. I always tell myself I'll play for a while and then I play for hours.
