    What Ratings Civilization Revolution Has Got

    I recieved my latest issue of the official playstation magazine
    And when i got it i turned straight to the review pages hoping to find a review of Civilization, and to my delight there was one
    i read through it a found that they had given it an 8. now in their list of what the numbers (out of 10) represent 8/10 = ' Very Good- Mostly excellent, but held back by one or two minor flaws'. Now it doesn't say what these 'Flaws' are but i think that is a pretty good reating for this game to have
    So i got thinking about what other magazines and websites have given this game......
    I hope to make a sort of record of what it has been given by different sources, so please get posting all of the scores from where ever you have seen them

    Thnkz!

    some spanish gaming magazine gave it a 95 out of 100. The best way to get a composite view in america is www.metacritic.com, but it doesn't include overseas reviews, so it doesn't show any scores yet.

    I don't think major reviews realize that this game will have huge supporters like NG. It is funny I am in a Older gamer community and to see how many people playing this or talking about this game is amazing.

    most magazines will likely have theirs out in their july editions(which means halfway through June) online sources will probably not get theirs out until the week before/of/after launch in the US.

    I played the 360 demo and I couldn't get past the incredibly annoying cartoon characters that kept popping up on screen and ruining the flow of the game. Yes I know there's options to turn off their voices but wow.The map limits are really what unsell this game for me, though. I only ever like to play Civ games on the largest possible maps.

    Edge gave it 8/10, which is a very good score for them.

    I gave it an 8/10 saying that it was a very big 8. It would definetly be a 9 if the multiplayer holds up in the end, but as it stands now I'm having BIG problems getting into good games!

    lol.

    Yeah I like IGN, but was surprised that the game had not been reviewed before it was released, as is usually the case. I feared it was going to be crap and 2K were trying to release it under the radar, to sell as many copies as possible before the bad reviews came out - glad to say the cynic in me was proved wrong!

    Most of the scores are around the 8 mark, with the only thing holding it back seemingly the (1) common looking maps and (2) the reduced attention to detail, though most of the reviews seem to recognise this is because of it's switch to consoles.
