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

    You should do your best to stay as far away from this game as you possibly can.

    I just bought the game and I'm already through 5 battles on the the North and South side, and I'm afraid to play it anymore because I just bought the game and I'm already through 5 battles on the the North and South side, and I'm afraid to play it anymore because I just got it and spent $40 and dont want to beat it in 2 days. I could have reneted it. But it is a good game but the levels should be MUCH harder and more levels. Also there should be line squads.… Expand

    Finally a freakn' game that does not revolve around Wrld Wr 2! This game has graphics that can compeat with some non-budget first person Finally a freakn' game that does not revolve around Wrld Wr 2! This game has graphics that can compeat with some non-budget first person shooters, the sounds of musket fire, cannon fire, and yelling soldiers definitey set a good overall ambiance for this budget title but unfortunately it somewhat lacks in gameplay, featuring a short "been there, done that" single player and no multiplayer. Overall Civil War A Nation Divided is a good, refreshing game that, does what it is supposed to do, and that most civil war enthusiasts and history buffs should enjoy.… Expand

    I think it's a good game, but it's a bit short and easy. It has excellent graphics and sound.
