Game Review: Civilization Revolution for the DS

I have long enjoyed playing Civilizationon the PC, as have my husband and Jack. In fact, Jack has been playing for years and I can remember going to museum exhibits and he recognizing people from the past based on his Civilization play. Civilization is highly fun, educational, and addictive!

After my less than happy experience with Myst, which I purchased earlier this month, I went online and did some research. I didn't even know there was a Civilization game for the DS. So I added it to my cart. Last night I played my first game and actually completed it in 2 1/2 hours and had a blast. Civilization Revolution is a little simpler than the PC versions, but I had a great time with it. They have added some new components (great persons for one) and I really enjoyed that. Also, each time I went to build something, I didn't have to go to another screen to see how it would help me, it was right there where I was looking. There are four ways you can win...economic, cultural, domination and space race. I won the cultural way, but was building the final building to complete the economic win and I also was working on the space components. It was so much fun! I can't wait to play again!

I give this game five stars out of five! Jack is loving it too!
