Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
Rating: - Not bad for a Civil War FPS.
For a Civil War FPS (expect Medal of Honor meets "Gettysburg" the movie), this is actually a pretty good game. Much better that the History Channel's last attempt at the Civial War, but nothing ground breaking. Support AI is worthless but the period weapons handle fairly well and the level design and graphics look nice but the character design and graphics are weak. There are two segments of rail shooting, one firing a cannon from a ship and another shooting a Gatlin Gun from a train, both were pretty pathetic. Otherwise, I thought it was a great rental and I may buy used when it goes for under $25.
