CivRev on DS. Experiences and Thoughts

[Thinker19930602]

Hello. Has anyone who has had the pleasure of playing Civilization Revolution played it on the Nintendo DS? If you have, post experiences you've had playing it and your thoughts on the DS version. Dont forget to vote on the Poll!

Other than the lack of information (no civilopdedia), and a few other small ommissions, I now prefer the DS version to the 360 demo (I haven't got the full game).

The games play a little quicker on the DS (less animation to watch) and I prefer the top down view, although the UI is a bit clunky.

The tech handouts on the 2k web site have provided most of the missing information so I now know what units and wonders to plan for.

Besides the UI problems, your right in that most of the game is great. the lack of a civlopedia is no big deal, but the one frustrating thing is that when you have a unit selected, it displays a picture on the top screen but no data like movment range, combat power, or health, just a picture and promotions.

I can never find 4 player multiplayer games, instead just getting no AI handicap, head to head games where the other player quits as soon as he sees a catapult army.

ive only played the ds version

i dont enjoy playing civ on ds because of the small screens & various other complaints which have been discussed a few threads ago. i do enjoy it for short games when i can't sit down infront of the pc for a few hours.
it's fast food civ.

its not as good as the consoles. The visuals of the console is what makes it. the ds is too bland and lifeless in its top- down state.
