This is a poor game for Nintendo DS which does not live up to the quality of the PC version of the game.

Civilization Revolution is a good PC game, but the result of the transfer to Nintendo DS is very disappointing. The graphics are bad, and the soldiers are so poorly animated that it looks like they punch the thin air when they fight. You can choose yourself what´s necessary to win the game – either an industrial or military victory. Unfortunately the game is far too short, it has too few choices and seeing as the maps aren´t from the real world it´s limited what you can learn from it.

Child suitability:
Warfare is a central element of the game, but it doesn’t show blood or realistic violence. This is a strategy game that falls short, and cannot be recommended to either children or adults.

Score: 4

Suggested age: Not suitable for children.

Format: Nintendo DS

PEGI: 12, violence
