Let's pretend you have never played, or even heard of for that matter, the series known as Civilization. There is no campaign style story mode in this series like you see in many RTS titles. Then again, this is turn based, not real time.

As the game begins, you pick who you wish to rule as. You'll start with little to no technology, just a group of settlers who wish to form a city. This is about as similar as any two games will get.

Once the city is formed, it is entirely up to you how you rule your nation. Time will progress, negotiations will be made, and wars will be waged, all in the name of fun. Since there is no real deep story behind this game, let's take a look at how this redesigned classic adapts to the home consoles, specifically in this case the Playstation 3.
