 More addictive than crack cocaine October 11, 2008
Warning this game is highly addictive as you move your units around the globe and try and raise them from stone age amoebas to highly advanced in the space age. Use diplomacy and alliances in order to best position your 'civilization' to benefit from advances in culture and technology. The game is ideally suited to the ds and is very intuitive and satisfying if highly addictive. The poor graphics do not matter as the gameplay is so good.
 Disappointing with bad glitches September 24, 2008

I have the xbox 360 version and I thought portable civ rev would be great. I dont mind having cut down graphics but the gameplay just isnt as polished as on the xbox version. For example, on the view cities screen you dont see a grid with all the cities named, with production, gold, science & culture totals. You have to scroll and click on each city to find out their totals. I also didnt like not being able to see the units fortifying the city from within the city screen.
But THE KILLER for me is the interface glitches - during one game a sub got stuck and I couldnt move it at all for like 5 turns. Another example is a stack of ships next to an enemy city and another ship below the stack - I could not select the single ship at all.
 Age of Empires is better September 23, 2008

I had really looked forward to this having read various reviews but I found that it actually made me ill. The DSkept moving units all over the place and I found when I looked up from the screen I had to re-orientate myself and all this whizzing about made me feel sick (something I have never encountered before ) .I recommend Age of Empires , it's twice the game this is and you can take it at your own pace.
 Simply Addictive September 22, 2008

I also haven't played any of the previous titles, so am basing my review purely on the product itself, and not my expectations of the product.
I found the game to be perfectly suited to the DS console. The majorityof the time you can play using the stylus alone, although my house mate is now also addicted, and he barely uses it. As the game is about how you play it and not spectacular graphics, it fits what you need to see on the map & city screens, allowing you to straight-forwardly get on with ruling the world.
The controls and menu systems I found to be simple and intutive, I barley looked at the instruction booklet, and the game itself is really good fun. I can't stop playing, and because it's different everytime, I keep trying to improve and better my previous games. It will played over and over, for a good while yet. It's not one that can be completed and discarded.
97 all over again September 19, 2008
when i got my 1st pc i was given civ 2 & i got addicted big time.
so now i have a DS & having not played civ for 10 yrs i am addicted again.
chieftain level is a breeze, the indians are the best to be i find, bloody longbow archers that the english have slaughter my attacking troops tho.
the map is fairly big, gets a bit dizzy working out where my ship is sailing to.
this game is great for the DS, you can play it in shortbursts although more often not you will find yourself playing several hours solid determined to conquer all.
