Gamernode: News - First screens of Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution DS

First screens of Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution DS

Yesterday, 2KGames uploaded the first batch of DS screenshots for Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution. Coming out for the PS3, Xbox 360 and DS, it will be the first "next-gen" offering of the classic strategy franchise. (In case you missed the news, the Wii version was delayed indefinitely several weeks ago.)

Built from the ground up with console and handheld gamers in mind, the game will offer the traditional Civilization feeling, but in a fast-paced, pick-up-and-play fashion. According to several sources, it will be the full Civilization experience. So we'll have to see just what exactly Firaxis means by making it fast-paced and pick-up-and-play.

As of now, there's no set release date for the game, but look for it to likely hit stores sometime by April 2008.

The five screenshots released for the DS version showcase a number of troops and situations. We see American horsemen vs. Indian warriors, a swordsman or two, tanks vs. ninjas, the military advisor, and the main man: Mahatma Gandhi. If you want to lead your empire to victory on the battlefield, who better than Gandhi? No one. That's who.

Check out below for the screens.
