I've only had the game for 4 days but i basically been playing it most of that time. I've played the PC version and I like that but this is a streamlined version of a quite frankly, bulky original. Everything that i loved about Civ 4 is here but the micro management has been taken over by the program. And that is a good thing. I can remember playing games of Civ 4 that could last up to 40 hours and quite frankly i dont have that much time to waste, with revolution i can get all the feel of a great Civ game and play it in under 2 hours. The control system is just great you have a feel for the controls in minutes and they only fail slightly towards the end of a game when you have many units to select, and it can get a little fiddly. All in all a great 360 game and without a doubt the best strategy game on any console, bar none.
