 An Experience Designed for the Consoles November 29, 2008
Cypressemote (Florida)
I have been a long time player of the Civ series on PC - starting with Civilization II in 1996 - and was excited to hear it was making its way to a console system. (I think they did a version for the original Playstation way back when, but it wasn't great.) br / br /The first thing to know is that the entire game has been designed and streamlined from the ground up for a quicker, simpler experience. A PC game of Civ can take 20 or more hours to complete - usually lasting days or weeks. A game in the 360 version can take an hour or two - usually being finished in one or two sittings. When I was younger, PC marathon sessions of Civ were no problem - as an adult with a job and kids, I welcome the opportunity to sit on my couch and get a similar play experience in a much shorter time frame. br / br /Some of the more detailed aspects of Civ PC are not present (you won't be sending around workers to farm specific tiles and build roads, or constantly trying to figure out why the happiness level of a city is low and has ground production to a halt), but they would be out of place in this experience, and would definitely make the games take longer. br / br /For me, this perfectly captures what I love most about the series, and blends it with what I have time for now. I also love the hall of fame type score system within the game (in addition to achievements) - it's the first game I've ever wanted to net 1,000 achievement points on, and my eventual goal is to get every hall of fame point as well. (including beating each leader on Diety level, and winning once with each leader and victory style on Diety.) br / br /As a final word - if you haven't played the series at all, this is an excellent choice to start with. (as is the PC version) There's something hugely compelling about raising your civilization from clubs and fire pits to tanks and the internet, and determining along the way if you'll be peaceful or warlike, and if you'll focus on science or money - or a balance between all of these.

Very easy and fun game. Takes a long time to play. This is like a hyper civilized version of RISK. I wish it were a little more realistic. br /However very fun to play especially for us middle age gamers!

. . . and that is Civilization Lite. This game is not the next step in the Civ series. If you (like me) like your Civilization large, long and deep, this game is not for you. There's some new stuff here (stack three units together to form a more powerful army; kidnap a great person with your spy) and it is well done, but hard-core Civ players are going to be disappointed. br / br /The plus side is that it is extrememly accessable. Games can be played in a couple of hours (as opposed to days) and the game concepts have been streamlined. Meaning those who are put off by the micromanaging of the PC version (read, my kids) can really enjoy this game. So if you're looking for an introduction to Civ (or have attention deficit problems), this may be the game for you. If you're looking for Civ V or even an expansion of Civ IV, take a pass.
