Im going to keep this simply snappy: it is a PC game & cant be fully translated or appreciated if played on another platform...it will give you hours of fun/ headache on ps3 as u try to master it. the different levels of play and the 4 ways to victory will keep u engaged as u just begin to see the depth of vision from the creator Sid Meir. when ur finished try civ4 on pc...good luck! the game on ps3 needs to be played on the KING level to even begin to be appreciated on this platform. Civ. Rev is a short story wanting more of a delectable morsel where as Civ. 4 is a novel richly satiating but slow to digest.
Hence, Civilization Revolution misses important critical city analysis required of any civilization @ micro and even macro levels which very intellectualy exciting and therefore rewarding. But of course this is ps3, and shouldnt be taken so seriously--it is just a sweet taste of the possibilities of the genre on a different platform that missed perfection due to its inherent limitations while experimenting on it--audacious!
