Civlization: Revolution

[Acepilotf14]

I know there's another thread, this one is going to be more formal.

Anyway, so I bought the DS version because I don't want to sit and play another game I already have watered down, I want a handheld version. Started it up, and so far I'm liking it. It's not so watered down it's super easy, although some of the UI is a bit tricky. The units are sufficiently made, so there aren't fifty different unit types, (most of the modern age infantry and vehicles are put together into 2 different units- Modern Infantry, and Tank.) Although for my first game I played on the easiest difficulty and killed everyone by 1920, being ages ahead of all of them. My one tank killed everything.

Anyone else bought it yet?

The battles are fun to watch.

The things I liked about Civilization was that there were shitloads of unit types. :/

Too many in a handheld game would have gotten a bit too complicated.
I can still play Civ4, of course. Not wasting $60 on a console version.

Give me revamped Alpha Centauri.

Just tried out the demo on 360, seems quite fun. It's definitely a watered down version, but I actually like that they've stripped out a good deal of the micro-management stuff (ie - workers, city happiness/health) as that always sort of bogged the whole thing down for me in the late-game. Was a rare occasion that I ever actually finished a game in Civ IV.

So basically it's Civ for the ADD generation, which is great if you're anything like me. Not about to rush out and spend $100 on it, but I'll probably grab it if and when it drops in price.
