Firaxis was never going to mimic the Civ franchise absolutely on console, but it has done a fine-job with this watered-down version. Despite some glaring omissions, such as the inability to form defensive alliances, the game finally gives the console crowd the chance to experience what the franchise is all about; and that’s worth its weight in gold.
