It's been a while since I've reviewed a game or even bought a new one but yesterday I purchased Civilization Revolution for Xbox 360. The game follows in the footsteps of past Civilization games, you control a nation and are responsible for expansion, technological advances, defense, politics and an array of other demographics for managing your civilization.

I've been a big fan of the Civilization (Civ) franchise since Civ 2 and was keen to discover how the game had made its transition from PC to console. Over the past year I've favored console games over PC games because of the ease of putting in a disk and playing a game over installing it on your PC.

Civilization Revolution is similar to Civ 4 for the PC however much of the micro management from Civ 4 has been removed, the pace of the game has been significantly increased mainly because technological discoveries happen a lot faster. 

Managing city workers in the game has been almost removed and a simplified way of building roads between cities has been implemented. Many of the wonders have changed the benefits they make available to an extent where many of them are now worthless.

The interface and controls have made the transition well from the pc to console, the interface is easy to move around with a controller and you don't feel like your missing the keyboard and mouse.

If your a fan of past Civ games or enjoy turn based strategies then I would recommend Civilization 4, otherwise it might not be the game for you.
