Civilization Revolution Review (GameTrailers.com)

I am really quite happy it got a good review. I had fears about this one. However, as a person who’s played through just about every Civ game i’m afraid this looks way too familiar: way too similar technologies, strategies… in short, why would i play the same game YET again? I may do so someday… but i don’t see anything new. Even if it had just brought some new techs like Alpha Centauri (brilliant story!) did…
Also, since it should appeal to the more serious history oriented crowds i don’t think the sims made up languages are such a great idea. The alternative of more serious treatment with an wikipedia type feel would have been nice, but then again you are going to upset history when some ancient culture reaches world domination in space :P
