You capture an entire city and you get eight gold pieces? Those conquerer's need a raise.

I am very disappointed that they haven't managed to make this into an FPS, surely they realise that this is all us 360 owners want to play ;)

Am interested. Love the Civ series. In fact, it's my all time favourite. The only drawback was that a simple campaing on a big map could take well over a week to complete. But when it comes to strategy, turn based is the only way to go. RTS has nothing to do with strategy, it has some tactics at best.

Some very good interface design there, by the looks of it. I are impressed.
The only change I mind a bit is the simplified tech tree. Choosing what to research was a very interesting side of the game, I hope it wasn't simplified too much. Multiplayer sounds great. The seamless drop-in, drop-out functionality isn't new, though, it's what Civ IV does too, if I remember correctly. |

Co-op - Sold! (Is it same room, hot-seat based? - Probably not...)

Ah Civilization.
I remember when I got you free with my computer all those years ago, no box, just a cd in a manual. Quickly I discovered the joys of marathon sessions, forcing that statistical bar to show that yes I have the greatest military might.... ME! Civ 2 was an amazing game that is one of my all time favourites, it was inbetween that time and Civ 3 though that I stepped away from the cutting edge of PC gaming, and directed my attentions elsewhere. This looks like a good way to get back on the horse, and who knows, some of my friends might be willing to try it too! |

The biggest gaming regret I have is never picking up the first Civ and getting stuck into the series. Civ Rev looks like being an excellent introduction to the Civ world.
Heh, it's not like the'y telling a consecutive story which you will have missed, they're remakes more than sequels. :) Civ IV, with all its complexity, is pretty accesible, more so than the predecessors. |

"a faster game full of frequent thrills and new toys, not one that requires 40 turns and half an hour before you can make a bloke ride a horse"
No thanks, I prefer the creeping progress of the old civ games. DS version may be worth a look though. |

Civ IV is definitely the true successor to the crown of Civ II.
I do think they're smart since they've opened their market up to everyone who can't be arsed with the real thing, and maybe some of us will be tempted to play this when we want a quick game. I'll wait for the review though to see if I end up with a copy of this on my PS3. |
