My advice to you is to drop the $15 just to see if you're like me and find civ rev to be one of the best games of all time. Other than that it's probably the most fun and complex game for the iPhone, a hidden gem behind all the haters. The main thing that is really disappointing is that there is no multiplayer. This game is brilliantly tactical and a whole lot of fun. ![]() Its very disappointing - if civ rev was not made by Sid Meier and people dint expect it to be something different it could flourish. Every civ is just as aggressive and difficult to dominate as the consoles. The IGN review is total bogus - I never had one second of slowdown on an iPhone 4S with 20+ cities to control. Playing with your back against the wall and still emerging is deeply satisfying for veteran players. The game is so brilliant and complex that if you are really good you can still win regularly when all your opponents have an unfair advantage. Once you get good at the game you always win on Emperor so you move to Diety where the computer has an unfair advantage. New players should not be playing on the hardest difficulty. This will annoy die hard fans but its not game breaking. The only thing you cant see mt do is micro-mange your city, you have to pick a general focus such as food or production. Its pretty easy to play once you get the hang of it. ![]() There are several subtle balance changes, such as city with walls with a ranged unit can make a ranged attack so you aren't so devastated by a naval assault, and I never got an option to flip a city using a great person. There seems to be only minor changes, such as a slightly smaller world, 5 player games and military units are in groups of 1-3 (A unit of 9 has 9 "heath bars" under it but is only represented in battle by 3 units). Playing the same game that I have for PS3 on my iPhone 4s is pretty crazy. Civ rev is flashy, colorful, fast-paced (only compared to civ) and no less as complex and brilliant as any civ game. Then there are players who never really got into civ on the PC for various reasons: they are very slow paced with games spanning weeks, nothing really flashy or exciting is happening. They are turned off by it from the get go and play it with a chip on their shoulder and write angry 1-3 score reviews. These players hate Civ Rev because its too "simple" and games are too "quick" and the computer "cheats". Since then, the ESRB has also listed XCOM: Enemy Unknown for Vita.PC fans who grew up playing 40 hour games of civ and love its slow pace and deep complexity. The addition of "plus" to the title may indicate that, like Civilization Revolution 2, it may feature exclusive content, though this has not been officially confirmed. ![]() In July, an entry on a Korean video game ratings board listed a game titled XCOM: Enemy Unknown Plus. The game is developed by Firaxis Games, which- according to recent reports-may also be releasing XCOM: Enemy Unknown for the Vita. Unlike the first Civilization Revolution, which was released for consoles, PC, and mobile, the sequel was initially only available for mobile devices. ![]() The new unit is the Yamato battleship, which has "improved attack strength, at the cost of compromised defense capability, compared to normal battleships." The new leaders include Oda Nobunaga, who bestows a samurai bonus Heihachiro Togo, who has naval combat bonuses and Himiko, who provides governmental bonuses. The other scenarios, called Wrath of Emperor Kublai, Samurai Invasion of Korea, Z-Flag Swirls, and Dark Clouds in the Pacific, are set during different points in Japanese history. One scenario, titled "Journey to the West", will allow players to use TaiZong against Saladin to capture Byzantium. By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's
