    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 Finally a freakn' game that does not revolve around Wrld Wr 2!

    This is probably the most true to life game out there, allows you to experience the civil war, while it is sort of a History lesson it does offer just as much as the million other War War 2 games. Worth a play through.

    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.

    Although longer reload times, it offers intensive war experience and it can atmospherically compete with Call of Duty games. Really refreshing approach and setting among all-the-same first person shooters. Worth to play.

    If you like to step out and shoot then reload in a game for a hundred times, this your game. If not don't bother.

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

    This game is pretty realistic but I feel its way too easy to be shot, even when your hiding behind a wall. I know the weapons are slow, but the game is constant and its something new.

    Good Idea, but it too short. Faster gameplay with more things going on would make it a LOT better.

    this game is a great game if you like the civilwarthere are certain parts in the game when you feel for both sides i am both north and south
    and i have seen that that kind of war is brutal war loses its valor when death can be delt at a distance.

    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.
