So here i am at my playstation store looking for a good demo, So i see battle field bad company and i see civilization revolution. I've heard a lil bit about this game but not to much. i read and played a little civilization before so i knew what to expect so i said to myself battlefield for sure, that's the game that i want. Well when i went to download the Battlefield demo it just kept giving me an error message. so i said fuck it i'll download the Civ Rev demo first. The demo gets done downloading and sure enough now Battlefield starts downloading. So i said you know what, I'll just play this civ demo till battlefield gets done downloading. about 8 hours later and about 2 games in i feel ashamed cause i knew which game i was now going to buy and that game was Civilization Revolution. All my friends made fun of me when they heard i was gonna buy that instead of Battlefield...until they played it. Then their tunes changed. So bravo Mr. Sid you turned us into believers. and now we ALL have the game

*Graphics - 8.5 - some of the details are very well done *Cough breast cough* but there could be more done to make this game shine.

*playability - 9.0 - easy to pick up and learn. Give it a shot and fall in love.

*Sound - 8.0 - i love how you can hear your cities really coming to life but - 1 point for your advisor's.

*feel - 9.5 - this is one of those games that does what it sets out to do, make you feel like a leader.

* lasting appeal - 10 - with 16 civilizations, 5 difficulties, numerous wonders, buildings, technologies, etc... plus multiplayer and DLC on the way. this can go on for a VERY long time.
