Civilization Revolution for the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad is jolly good fun!

Reviewed by P-Ray for SavedGamers

Having played all the Civilization games in the franchise, when I saw that there was a port over to the iPod Touch, I had to grab it. I am happy to say that I was not disappointed, as it is a solid game that is family friendly.

It is one of those games that I can tell you to stop reading right now and go pick up on the App Market. If you are still not sold on it, read on!

The idea of Civ Rev is simple, be the biggest, best run country in the world. Whether you do this through diplomacy, war or science is up to you. The game itself is simple to learn, difficult to master, and a whole lot of fun.

You start the game choosing a famous world leader from history, such as Julius Ceasar, Ghandi, Cleopatra, Abraham Lincoln etc.. Each leader gives bonus and sometimes drawbacks to your game.

After picking your leader, the game is pretty straight forward. You have to expand your civilization from one city to a spanning empire, making sure your people remain happy and that your enemies or neighbors don’t step all over you.

The game turn lasts one “year”, in that year you make strategic moves to help you climb the global ladder. As far as questionable content, there has been none that we have seen in over 50 hours play. Your military units do fight other countries units, but there is no blood or gore. You do see men fall and disappear indicating victory, but there is nothing that we found to be offensive in this.

There is no foul language to report, there is no sexual content to speak of. This is a flat out clean, fun game that will give you many hours of enjoyment. There are two apps available for download for this game. A lite version that is free to try out the game, and a paid version costing $6.99. This is down from the $9.99 we paid at release, so it is a bargain at that price!
