SID MEIER'S CIVILIZATION REVOLUTION .
There are some things pcs can do the console games shouldn't call it division of labor argue over superiority I don't care and sure while there's been some cross-contamination that worked well goldeneye resting dominance in the FPS sector of a super nintendo
srcversion of SimCity which is pretty decent or even the controller optimized ps3 and ps4 renditions of Final Fantasy 14 more often than not you're left with a stripped-down interpretation that
feels like an affront to all you hold dear Civilization Revolution is a stripped-down interpretation surely but I don't know if it's that much of an affront maybe an aside or in a back with this ps3 version of the famously
obscenely huge 4x staple holds its own and conserves a nice primer an introduction and one of the most intense of gaming genres [Music] I'd lay some plot on you but really you craft the plot as you go along the basic line of
your civilization led by insert great leader here builds from sticks and stones the world domination just like it's big brothers that domination can take a number of forms from absolute military victory to cultural ubiquity
to being the first people to reach office and Tory that basic starting point you have the freedom to do those four X's mentioned earlier explore expand exploit and exterminate at whatever pace you wish that said you
also have competitors other great leaders displaced from their own geographic bounds trying to expand their grasp of this hunk of randomly generated landmass the standard civilization bit really just kind of altered for the
console masses you can't have super precise mouse and keyboard controls in this case so you've got to adapt for the relatively clunky controller and that's where Civ Rev stumbles you got a thumb stick that moves your focus sometimes
and directional buttons that cycle through units in a given region or move to the next region where next is a constantly ambiguous term might be in a different conflict entirely just align so closely to your vertical axis that
suddenly BAM your Barcelona instead of moving to the next battalion of units stationed outside Minsk fortunately while the controls are a bit grindy the graphics are by and large capable of holding things together in the main game
at least other functions such as the Civil of PD awhile a useful resource for the history and entertainment aspects of the game occasionally have egregious graphical mishaps and this is actual footage of how choppy things get when
you finally beat the game yeah civics this ps3 grind like hell but you won't really notice it in the moment because you'll be too intensely focused on discovering the next best technology [Applause] the audio presentation isn't bad and the background music well you're
going to forget all about it because you'll either a be too deep in diplomacy to hear anything or be have shut off the audio long ago because the garbled vaguely ethnically flavored speech of your quote-unquote trusted advisors made
you want to rip out your hair there's a number of things that makes this revolution kind of weak as a civilization title but regardless it is civilization and you're probably not going to arrest yourself from it until
you've taken over the world one more turn man one more turn oh and you've got to choose next science to pursue which means you should reassign some workers in Moscow for better efficiency.
