As the first Civilization game designed specifically for current gen consoles and built from the ground up for this market, Civilization Revolution harnesses the unique multiplayer functionality of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 systems to bring the Civilization strategy experience home to console gamers. And now, for the first time ever, players can take all the addictive Civilization gameplay with them wherever they go with the Nintendo DS version of Civilization Revolution. With a unique look, an extremely intuitive control scheme and a streamlined interface, Civilization Revolution is an accessible, fast-paced, pick-up-and-play experience in a strategic race for global domination. Up to four players can compete together as one of 16 famous civilizations to battle as teams, head to head, or in a complete free-for-all online. In addition, the updated Civilopedia provides deep background information on many of the historical scenarios and civilizations featured in the game with video and pictures from the experts at the National Geographic Society. Guided tutorials also explain all the basic strategy elements to get the action started quickly; making Civilization Revolution the perfect entry point for first-time Civilization players and longtime fans alike.
