It looks like a great game to introduce newcomers into the Civ series (which is a very good thing). I don't think Civ Revolution is quite as appealing to the hardcore Civvers, who have been playing the games on the PC for the last 15+ years. The big problem with the game is that there's not much replayability: there are a handful of extremely powerful strategies, and once you figure them out, the game is a cakewalk. It really would be nice to have a little more customization too - different sized maps, or the ability to choose the number of opponents.
With that said, I would definitely be getting the game if it were coming out on a platform I owned. (No 360, PS3, or DS here. And it's not the kind of game that's worth buying a new console.) Hopefully the American sales will be better than the European ones, which were pretty sad...
