Civilization Revolution Preview 2:09 PST | jvdc | Print News | Category: Civ NewsPro-G has posted a preview of Civilization Revolution, the upcoming console version of the classic game. Revolution is described as "Civilization Light," a game that mirrors the same basic premise, but is built on much simpler rules. Also, the game appears to be far more tongue-in-cheek than the previous games have been.
The overall idea here is that the pace, if not the tone, is similar to a typical first hour of a traditional Civilization game throughout the entirety of a Revolution game. That idea is an enticing one, but just who will buy Revolution is unclear. For hardcore god gamers it may just be a little too basic, and for newcomers it may feel a touch too entrenched in the Civilization world.
