Civ Revolution on the X360 manages to maintain the addictive nature of it's PC counterparts without needing to chop too much functionality out.
The interface has been simplified for the gamepad but I feel that there would have been scope for them to do more... why not create an advanced control scheme? In particular, as each game comes to a close you are having to ferry units around the globe one by one which becomes tiresome.
You need to maintain a careful balance between each of the 4 main measures in Civ... technology, culture, military and economic. Battles are mostly enjoyable with a rock-paper-scissors style mechanic which means you need to plan your attacks and defence to maximise your armys potential.
The graphics are good, not astounding and get the job done. Audio is solid.
Achievements on the 360 are quite simple and reward you from the first few wins.
