"Civilization Revolution" is a well-crafted turn-based strategy game that brings out the best the genre has to offer, without being handicapped by the limitations of console controls.
Players build their own civilizations from ancestral beginnings up through the modern age. There are four possible ways to win: researching the most advanced technologies, gathering the most wealth, cultivating the most culture, or conquering the most foreign capitals. The branching paths to victory provide a level of depth and variety to the gameplay that feels like a breath of fresh air compared to the generic strategy title that focuses exclusively on military domination.
The controls in "Civilization Revolution" work remarkably well for a console-based strategy game. The result is a game that's easy to pick up for beginners, but also packs plenty of challenge for experienced players in the highest difficulty settings. Top it all off with a cartoony but endearing art style, and you've got arguably the best strategy game for consoles this generation.
