Civ Rev demo on XBL/PSN Thursday News
Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell
2K Games is planning to release a demo of Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network this Thursday.
According to GameSpot, the demo will be on Xbox Live worldwide and PSN in North America, with a PAL PSN release to follow at some undetermined point in the future. We've asked 2K to clarify.
The demo will give you control of either Caesar or Cleopatra and allow you to play against the CPU or human players online until 1250 AD. But if you're staring at your 2008 Kylie calendar in alarm, don't worry, you've misunderstood the premise: building civilisations up from nothing and trying to outdo competing cultures by achieving things like military, diplomatic, economical or scientific superiority.
The demo is set to weigh in at 1.08GB.
The full game isn't due out for a month in the US, but for once in our wretched lives the news is better for us, with a European release on PS3 and 360 set for 13th June. A DS version will then follow in the summer. The previously-planned Wii version is on indefinite hold.
Look out for our review of Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution very soon.

Excellent - this is one game I'm sorely tempted by on 360 but given my history with Civ games (full of excitement for the prospect of playing them but never really that good and end up quitting once I start losing badly, which is usually quite quickly) it may be a bad idea. Demo FTW.

Loved Civ series since the first one on Amiga, I would really give a demo a great go to see if it would really translate that well. I know it is not a port of Civ 4 but made from ground up for the consoles and with very clearly a different style. Quite keen to see this work but read somewhere that once past a certain level of complexity everything in the game get slown down and that its affect gameplay.
If that is the case then would likely not shown up in demo and may be better off to keep cities number down and focus on scientific/space or diplomatic/UN victory? As you would need as many cities possible for the military or the economic victory I would think so. Will look forward to the EG review. |

Honestly, if the DS version's based of the same ruleset as the home versions, I'm glad they're not releasing it straight away. In a complex game like this, there are bound to be odd little rules and things that need fixing after release, so it's best to get them sorted before releasing a version that you can't update.

I hope it comes to the PSN soon, its quite cool downloading demos and playing them for a little bit... though Ive still got lots to do on full games of GTA and Grid, and about to get Mass Effect on Friday, its still nice to play something just for the fun of it.
