Incidentally, the designers obviously have a wicked sense of humour, as the aforementioned diplomatic advisor from the modern era is a dead-ringer for Condoleezza Rice - nice one. This repetition did get a little trying after a while. I’ve never minded the characters in the Sid Meier universe, you know, the cartoony ones that talk gibberish? But I don’t need to be told at every turn by an advisor that the ‘United Nations Wonder’ can now be built.

Too bad if you don’t want them to plough a field there because that’s where they’re going to plough one.

If I have the choice I always like to hear the bad new first, so here goes: Civilization Revolution has been developed specifically with gaming console in mind so as you’d expect some of the depth found in the earlier PC versions has been sacrificed for an easier more casual gaming approach.

Each civilisation has its own special abilities, strengths and weaknesses but they’re all pretty well rounded and no culture is grossly out classed by another. You choose your civilisation (I spell the Queen’s English) from one of 16 cultures each headed by a famous historical figure, Abe Lincoln, Napoleon, Montezuma, Helen Clark (kidding!). How you win is entirely up to you, wage war on neighbouring Super-powers, conduct yourself diplomatically - yeah right, or discover new and formidable technologies. Players strive to become ‘the Ruler of the entire World.’ You achieve this by creating and leading a civilization from the knuckle-dragging dawn of man into the space age and beyond. Civilization Revolution is a turn based strategy game.
