As a fan of the Civilization series since the first on PC so many years ago, I will only tell you that the PS3 and 360 owners are either going to be very disappointed in how it controls/plays, or it will be dumbed down massively and completely alienate the traditional civilization crowd (raises hand, even though I'll give the DS version a shot).

Basically, though I pretty much figured the game would be dumbed down from the start in the first place. If not a completely different style of game all together. I wonder why they are having problems on the wii version... since you can basically just use a mouse like imput and the civ games have never exactly been graphic whore games. Unless it's real time or something. Never did get the "Revolutions" thing. If not this game is likely just going to be Civ 4 1/2. With anythign that ends up working being moved over to 5.
Oddly i do think the Wii version would sell better too then the 360+PS3 version... the reason being the controls... even if it was a RTS the controls would be miles above on the Wii... trying to play civilization on a standardized controller would be a pain in the ass.

I played Civ 1 on the SNES, but i'd hate to go back... and Civ 1 was amazingly simple in comparison.
