    I think this game is great. I was actually expecting it to be worse since I bought it for a bargain ($30) when it just came out. I was pleasantly surprised. The graphics were really good even on my geforce 6600. The game greatly reminded me of Call of Duty 2, which is not a bad thing. The weapons are very nice (and realistic) and the presentation is excellent. I was hoping for a great I think this game is great.

I was hoping for a great civil war game, and this lives up to my expectations. I hope people buy this game instead of looking at the fact that it was made by the History Channel (and activision by the way, hence the Call of duty 2 likeness) and walk away thinking this is a cheap waste of time. It actually is a great game and worth picking up (especially for the price).… Expand

    Great game, can't put down the controller. Very well done. If you don't buy definitely rent it.

    GA is crazy. I loved this game. It's about time someone made a Civil War 1st-person shooter. GA said the people don't change. They do! The only reason I didn't give it a 10 was that I like really authentic games and not many real soldiers had Henry's and Colt rifles (but it is good to have them vs. muskets!). Awesome game!

    About time someone made a civil war first person shooter. I rate it high just because of its uniquenes and attention to detail.

    This game is extremely well done for being the first Civil War game that is first-person. Buy IT!

    This game was great. there could of been more then 12 battles but all and all a great game. The guns are very realistic and fun to use. I also loved the bits of information about the battle in between them. The only reason I won't call it a 10 is because you can't realy explore the battle ground, like if you go the wrong way a cannon ball will fall on you and you die!

    But the rest makes up for it. The detail I great, each of the soldiers hase their own face. But they die too easily, even your guys. Your basicaly fighting alone, and if they don't die in battle, they just fall down and die. The rest makes up for that too. There is always fighting to do. My favorite is hand to hand fighting, it is realy fun. This game is a sit back and relax game that I beat in a day. If you buy this game you won't be diapointed.    … Expand

    Great game... sort of a Call of Duty civil war, this game can be a real challenge, simply because you must not only use your rifle to shoot but in melee combat as well. More so in fact, than in the Call of Duty series, with it's numerous automatic weapons. Many of these old rifles had only one shot but the reloading process itself.... is something to behold! along with the time Great game... sort of a Call of Duty civil war, this game can be a real challenge, simply because you must not only use your rifle to shoot but in melee combat as well.

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