I downloaded the demo for this game (after reading all of the hype) and I'd have to say this game is really addicting. Now, this is my first Civ game that I've played but it sucked me in instantly. I'm a war buff (sorta) and this game made my dreams of conquering the world possible ^^. I'm a bit disappointed that the demo ends so quickly, but I can't wait to shell out 60 bucks!! buy the full version later today.

What are your opinions on this game?

If this is the game I am thinking of, then I hated it..
This is the turn based, war strategy yes? If so then yuck... (Sorry for the over the topness...)
I much prefer Real Time Strategy like Age of Empires, but that's just me..

To me, it looked retarded. I basically hate these types of games. But this is getting decent reviews from what I've heard. I'll try out the demo maybe next week.

Hey guys, just a fair warning: Keep your comments respectful to what others enjoy. While you may not agree with the topic creator's interest in the game, you don't need to be disrespectful by saying, "yuck" and "it looked retarded".

If you are going to say things like that, then please back your opinion up with actual reasons. Not "i hate that genre of games". Try giving reasons why you don't like the particular game.

Now, as for the game itself, I find it extremely interesting and the demo for it should be finished downloading soon on my Xbox 360. Once it finishes, I'll pop in and try it out. I've always been relatively interested in the series, so this will be an excellent time to see if it is worth it.

I cried when I read about Civilization Revolution. There is no way that the depth and scope of the Civilization series can be simplified to be suitable for a console without losing what made the original games so amazing. The best Civ games have always been PC exclusives, and with good reason. They were PC games through and through, their complexity can't be carried over from a keyboard and mouse to a gamepad. I believe that one of the greatest video game franchises there ever was is about to die.

Now, this is my first Civ game that I've played but it sucked me in instantly.
You have no idea what you're missing. Play either Civ II or Civ IV, they'll blow you away.

This is the turn based, war strategy yes?
Incorrect. While it is turned based, extensive combat is not required to win. There can be cultural, economical, and exploratory victories as well.

Interesting...
I was told by my local games dealer that Civilization is a war game where to you take turns to eliminate the other countries. So I bought it and played it trying to defeat them and found myself bored...
I think that economical victories sound quite good. I may be willing to try it out again...
