    Thank god I'm only borrowing this from a friend, I wasn't dumb enough to go blow $20 on it. This is one lousy excuse for a FPS. Obviously the development team doesn't want you to use anything but the pistol (a lame one at that). The "muskets" or "pixels arranged in the shape of a musket" is apparently one-shot disposable, because your character is too stupid to pick ammoThank god I'm only borrowing this from a friend, I wasn't dumb enough to go blow $20 on it. This is one lousy excuse for a FPS. Obviously the development team doesn't want you to use anything but the pistol (a lame one at that). The "muskets" or "pixels arranged in the shape of a musket" is apparently one-shot disposable, because your character is too stupid to pick ammo and reload it. When the cannons blow up, they disintegrate into thin air and cease to exist, not a single scrap of wood or steel is left. (If i set off a H-bomb that would be understandable but a crude Civil War hand grenade?) This is the first Civil War FPS I've seen but its just about as good as another AOL-cd coaster.… Expand

    A poor effort of recreating a good movie, with weak graphics, poor controls (the mouse sensitivity is WAY too high), frequent bugs and crashes, terrible AI and poor mission design. Not worth buying, and I hope metacritic takes a look at all these suspicious 10s, all of which appear to have been marked on the same day. There is certainly no way anyone in their right mind could give this a ten.

    Good they tried but plain out simple THE GAME SUCKS!!! It was just rushed to make some money right after the movie. This game's graphics are acient the guns suck the game play sucks every thing sucks about the game.

    This is absolutely the worst game I've ever played in my entire life, bad programming, bad AI, **** graphics, **** sound effects, in fact the entire game is just a waste of time, it's an insult to just call it a game, you'll probably have more fun playing with your fingers than dealing with this game, I bought this game for just one reason, to troll my friends who have not played this gameThis is absolutely the worst game I've ever played in my entire life, bad programming, bad AI, **** graphics, **** sound effects, in fact the entire game is just a waste of time, it's an insult to just call it a game, you'll probably have more fun playing with your fingers than dealing with this game, I bought this game for just one reason, to troll my friends who have not played this game yet. >:)… Expand

    Some people have been wondering, what's worse than the God's and Generals movie?... the answer is.. the Game.. i mean. look at the EXTREMELY outdated graphic, an old game like Duke Nukem can easily beat this game in graphics... is this is best Ted Turner can offer after that horrible movie?

    After installing a larger graphics card to play the game is silly and the games producer[s] should make a ''patch]that could justify the expense of this nintendo style game...Sid meiers civil war collection is far the best still after being 10 years old and I did'nt have to buy and install anything so why do the makers of gods and generals...The graphics card was moreAfter installing a larger graphics card to play the game is silly and the games producer[s] should make a ''patch]that could justify the expense of this nintendo style game...Sid meiers civil war collection is far the best still after being 10 years old and I did'nt have to buy and install anything so why do the makers of gods and generals...The graphics card was more expensive than the game and has more uses than just using it as a mini frisbie !!!… Expand

    It was a good idea, but bad graphics, and I kinda doubt a lone soldier can take out a whole army, and the graphics, they're just bad, the History Channel is making a Civil War game for the Xbox 360, I think its an FPS, but I'm not sure

    I was asking myself is it my computer that is so low in graphics ? and later: did i understand anything about how those stupid bot should move ? and then: why can't i put a baionnette ? then i came here, and i painfully regret to have wasted a cd for this bullsh.t.

    No one wants to "just rip on the south" this game is so bad its unimaginable. Anyone who thinks this game is even somewhat good has a serious problem with being able to judge a good game from absolute horrendous crap.

    It's subtle, yet dynamic.

    Outdated graphics, bad sound, lousy control, horrible technical performance, nonfunctional computer AI, terrible weapons--the game has about every problem you could possibly think of. In fact, it's difficult to imagine that Gods and Generals could be much worse than it is.

    A nightmarish collection of bad ideas, bottom barrel production values, and exists only to steal $19.99 from the pockets of passionate Civil War fans that deserve better. [July 2003, p.86]
