Thinking of a DS

[Geoff G.o.B]

I've got Civ Revolution for the Ds pre-ordered as its not out in the Uk until Aug  :smilie_bleh: Reviews have been mixed on it, Hardcore Civ fans don't like it too much becasue its a cut down version of Civ 4. Personnally I can't wait.

If you hop across to "Civfanatics" they have a solid forum where you can see for yourslef what people think.

So would you say it's be equivalent to Cvi 3? I never played Civ 4 but spent countless hours in Civ 3.

[Geoff G.o.B]

Possibly a bit more advanced than Civ 3. From what I've read it has less victory conditions, there are only 5 Civs in any game (and the choice of Civ is reduced). Screen layout is good but I've heard conflicting reports on the AI, some say its too easy, others say its far too aggressive.

I'd post a link to some useful topics on the Civ forums but my works browser is playing up, sorry  ???

No worries. I'll take a look today! Thanks for the info.

Here's a review: Not bad overall, limitations are what I thought they'd be on a handheld.

Hm. Looks good overall. I think I'll give this one a buy for sure.

well I'm stuck waiting for it for now. Mind you if you like old classic games then Gauntlet will be out in a month or so on the DS, can't wait for that  :boxing
