As your civilization advances, you’ll encounter illustrious personas like Napoleon Bonaparte, Cleopatra, and Albert Einstein.
While the player is the show’s star, the game’s vibrant roster of historical figures adds extra flavor. They’re the ones that make the decisions that shape history, whether that’s a peaceful resolution to an international crisis or a full-blown, cannon-blazing, colonial-style take-over. As they guide their civilization, they become the protagonist of their story. The game’s narrative isn’t about pre-written characters but about the players themselves. However, with the flick of a joystick and strategic selections, these troglodytes will soon start a journey from building their first mud hut to launching interstellar spaceships. It’s the Stone Age, and your people barely know how to rub two sticks together, let alone forge an empire. In “Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution,” players start from humble beginnings. And the only risk of losing your head here is from gazing in awe at the grand sweep of human progress that unfolds on your television screen. Instead, all it takes is a PS3 controller and a copy of “Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution.” This iteration of the world-renowned “Civilization” franchise makes history palatable and downright addictively entertaining. Revolution is in the air, and it does not require pitchforks and barricades.
