I downloaded the demo for Civilization Revolution when it first came out and liked it ok, but without instructions I really didn't spend the time getting into it. When it became available on Gamefly, I got it and tried it out. I loved it and went ahead with purchase. The game captures all the fun and depth of the PC version, but makes it easily controllable on a console. I've read in forums that some people think it has been dumbed down for console play, but it seems just as deep and strategic as the PC version to me with the convenience of completing a game within a couple of hours.
So far I've beat the game on the first two levels using all four victory conditions (Economic, Technological, Cultural, and Domination) using five different cultures. I'm taking on the medium level soon and look forward to new challenges. The Technological victory seems the hardest to achieve. You have to construct a spaceship and get it to Alpha Centauri before another culture wins. I had no problem reaching a level where I could win, but had a hard time getting to Alpha Centauri before the game ran out of time and granted me a Domination victory. I finally figured it out by focusing on the tech tree and making sure I got everything necessary for the spaceship parts as soon as they came available.
If you enjoy turn based strategy games (my favorite), you should get a lot of mileage from this game.
