Seasoned Civ fans will love how the heart and soul of the game have been distilled to DS without losing any of the appeal. [Oct 2008, p.66]

GameSpot
Civilization Revolution for the DS is a distilled, streamlined version of the popular PC strategy series that succeeds despite its limitations.

Game Informer
This title’s greatest accomplishment is simply in delivering the full Civilization Revolution experience on Nintendo’s handheld.

Cheat Code Central
The fact that you can have fun with this game on your own terms and on your own time is great, but the title does this without sacrificing any of the classic Civilization gameplay so many people have come to know and love.

The premiere of Civilization on the NDS has been successful and lives up to my expectations. Even this small-scale version of Civilization Revolution pleases, although “Civilization lite” would have been a better title. Gamer who liked the PC-version, will miss the complexity and amount of features. Nevertheless, the concept of the game is able to ignite the spark.

Civilization: Revolution for the DS does a remarkably good job in retaining the best features of its PC predecessors.

But Revolution's greatest omission is testament to just how addicting the game is. It's disappointing not having the option to play "one more turn..." after a victory condition is achieved and continuing to build (or rebuild) your empire.

Civilization Revolution for the DS is one of the better strategy experience on Nintendo's handheld.

IGN
Civilization Revolution is one of the better strategy titles for the DS and the only one that delivers the full empire-building experience that made the series such a hit on the PC.

GameSpy
While it won't be winning any beauty contests with its barebones 2D graphics, the play's the thing and the combination of solid controls and lots of content in the form of the technologies, units and variegated civilizations make Civ Rev an enjoyable and entertaining romp through the traditionally staid and somber realm of nation management.

Games Radar
It might not have the bells and whistles of the console versions or its PC predecessors, but this smaller colony is quite at home on the DS.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)
Civilization passed a “pocket examination”. Another platform conquered Civ is addictive as usual and brings to all players an extremely deep and variable strategic experience without any excuses. [Sept 2008]

Civilization Revolution makes our DS smile. The game is sweet strategic candy wrapped in replay chocolate.

Nearly everything has been stripped right back to accommodate the faster gameplay. [Issue#26, p.68]

IGN UK
Civilization Revolution remains the furiously, maddeningly addictive sandbox of delights that it's always been – which is probably the highest praise you can give it.

Gameplayer
The beauty of Civilization Revolution DS is that it’s just so damn addictive.

While it doesn't contain as much depth as its predecessor on PC, Sid Meier's Civilization: Revolution serves up the globe conquering fun that the series is renowned for.

Official Nintendo Magazine UK
Compelling and addictive. [Sept 2008, p.101]

Games Master UK
A little cramped but streamlined enough to feel well-suited to the DS. [Oct 2008, p.78]

Nintendo Power
If you're a fan of the genre, there are few better ways to get your fix on the go. [Aug 2008, p.89]

Revolution capitalizes on the DS’s strengths with some great stylus-based controls. Unfortunately, there are some problems, as the gameplay feels a bit scaled down and the maps feel pretty cramped.

Edge Magazine
In terms of distilling the core Civilization experience from PC to handheld, this is almost as victorious as the PC-to-console iterations. [Oct 2008, p.103]

Although it isn't easy to release a decent RTS game on a handheld, Civilization: Revolution succeeds with ease. Even after you played several scenarios the game still doesn't bore you. Off course the DS version lacks the
overview of it's console counterpart but is definitely worth your money.
