    Civil War on crack! This game is total chaos! Every few feet around you is exploding like mortars and bombs are going off everwhere constantly and it never stops! So unrealistic. This game is also extremely linear. There are invisible walls everywhere that keep you headed down a very narrow path so that the very scripted events can happen. You also have to disable your antialiasing if you Civil War on crack! This game is total chaos!

You also have to disable your antialiasing if you force it on your video card, unless you like huge squares on the screen while playing. I also know how all the soldiers died now in the civil war..... from freakin' reloading!!! At first the very long gun reloading times are ok, but they quickly get tiresome later on. I completed many levels simply by grabbing my knife and hacking the other soldiers away while they fumbled with their rifles to reload. This game is a budget title at a not so budget beginning price. Not a keeper in my opinion.… Expand

    My system exceeds all requirements, but there is no video at all. Activision value support is no help. How are people able to even play this game, much less rate it?

    I'll start with the positives. This game had a nice idea. I repeat, had. The AI sucks, The characters all share two faces, It's either one shot or three to kill all enemies, the game crashes repeatedly and refuses to save games. My computer far exceeds the recommended specifications and it still crashes. Also, for being one of Americas most bloody wars, there is absolutely not a I'll start with the positives.

My computer far exceeds the recommended specifications and it still crashes. Also, for being one of Americas most bloody wars, there is absolutely not a drop in this game. As long as you stay in the crouched position, you can easily snipe all you enemies as they stand right beside the downed soldier in which you just shot. I can't state how ripped-off I feel after paying $29.99 for this piece of garbage that even pales to the likes of much older FPS such as WWII Normandy. I should have waited until the game was at the local Big Lots for $5.99, then I wouldn't feel half as taken. I cannot stress enough what a complete rush job this game obviously was for the crew at Activision. In knowing their disrespect to the fans of their games, one of which i have always been, I no longer will purchase any of their software after this fiasco called History Channel Civil War: A Nation Divided. The only reason I gave it a 2 was because of the excellent weapons and maybe one decent level, that is to say if you don't mind the same repetition in every facet of the game...(e.g. oh I shot that guy once, so I know I must shoot this guy 3 times, and the next once and so on etc.) Hopefully Ubisoft gets on the Civil War bandwagon and makes a real playable game. As for me, Activision ripped me off and I want my money back.… Expand

    History Channel: Civil War is good for a few mindless hours of shooting action, but not much else. History buffs need not apply.
