Average Rating:
Rating: - A game I really wanted to like.
I was hoping that this game would be great, but it is very disappointing. Since I'm older than most gamers, and also enjoy The History Channel, I thought this game would be at least very good to me. It's not. It's medicore at best, and a disappointing effort from Activision and The History Channel. The game sounds good on paper. You get to take part in some of the most famous battle of The Civil War, along with some historical information from The History Channel to send you on your way. It just doesn't work. You get a few sentences, and then sent on your way. When the mission is complete, you pretty much get nothing other than a stat screen. As for the features of the game, the graphics are nothing special. The music and narrative are very repetitive, and get old fast. The gameplay is frustrating. There is no multiplayer, and the solo missions get old fast. I give the game 3 stars only because I'm a history buff. Otherwise it's much closer to 2 stars.
