This follow-up is functionally faithful to what fans of the series might want, but it doesn’t go far enough. We’ll always have Civilization Revolution at least. Meanwhile, the relatively similar Civilization Revolution sits at $3, and the earlier game even includes a multiplayer mode that was banished in the sequel because (according to 2K Games) no one used it. Civilization Revolution 2 is “premium”-priced at $15. We generally avoid any discussion of a game’s cost in reviews, but it’s unavoidable here. The hardest pill to swallow here is, unfortunately, the price. There’s also a lengthy list of pre-built scenarios, many inspired by real-life history, that offer more directed play experiences. A powerful and surprisingly flexible Scenario Generator allows you to set up very specific games, with switches and sliders that tweak everything from the time period to the victory conditions to the frequency and aggression level of barbarian units. There are a few new units, structures, and Wonders, plus two new Civ leaders – puzzlingly locked away behind special Achievements – but little more beyond that, other than the visual overhaul.Ĭivilization Revolution 2 fails to justify its existence. It’s a surprising turnaround for a series whose expansion packs typically amount to wholesale rewrites of major rules. The problem isn’t that systems are dumbed down, it’s that there’s not enough signposting in place to communicate the changes to longtime fans of the PC game.Īn even bigger problem is the fact that Civilization Revolution 2 feels more like an expansion pack than a sequel. Newcomers will jump into a game and simply learn by doing, but veterans are likely to be puzzled by the lack of Worker units, for example. While a tutorial teaches basic mechanics – how to move, build, and so on – there’s nothing relating to strategy. It’s almost better to walk in as a noob, untrained in the ways of other Civilization games. There’s a learning curve for Civ players used to the PC version, and not just in terms of mechanics. It still carries the essence of Civ, but in a way that’s been modified to suit the platform that the game exists on. In Civilization Revolution – both games – the focus of the gameplay remains the same, but many of the underlying systems are simplified or done away with entirely. Each civilization starts the game with different bonuses, but how it develops is up to you. There’s nothing that requires, say, the American people to embrace Democracy.
