Summary
Guiding the path of civilisation over thousands of years is a big job. Big enough for the chap upstairs, in fact. While the big fella did a pretty decent job of getting us from the deep dark past of travelling around on the backs of animals to the days of microwaves, cars and toilets that flush themselves, we've all thought that maybe we could have done a better job at one time or another, right?
Well, with Sid Meier's Civilization, PC gamers have been up to that sort of thing for years. With Civilization: Revolution, however, DS owners get their shot. The premise is simple – start in the year 4,000BC with nought but a single settler and a military unit or two to your name, then guide your civilisation to the point where folks can travel about in undersea trains and make their curtains close by talking to them.
Simple, right? Not really. You'll have to do things like found cities, settle new areas, form military units, build grand civic structures and generally get to work doing the job of someone like Alexander the Great.
This portable version of Civilization comes with a host of features including wireless battles and Nintendo Wi-Fi connection support. The fate of Civilisation is in your hands - try not to stuff it up!
