This game ia great. It is very historically accurte. It isn't a well-known fact that there were grenades or sniper rifles in the war. Some levels are kind of difficult, but I enjoy the challenge. i wish there were more levels. It is a little short but that doesn't bother me. I also wish there was more line fighting, or calvary and infantry charges. It is a great enough game overall to get 5 stars in both categories. buy it.

History as a first person shooter

This is a great game. I dont do much, just sit by a cannon and whatch the gourgeus men in uniforn load round after round. I named one fort "easy to capture. " It had one broken cannon and 5 wounened men guarding it. It diden't last the war... Then I went thourogh a blue stage and stood infront of a cannon. The men diden't care. I also was a bigger problem to my men just sitting there. But they just left me. I also capture a cannon and shot at my own men. They shot back... This is a good game but don't stand in front of a cannon. You won't like it. I once walk up to a enemy calvery charge. They ran me over. I like to sit by enemy wouned soldiers and poured water on them. Then taught them to fly with a cannon. They all got A's. But diden't get up for their grades. It's fun to taunt men. aiming a gun at their head. then shooting their legs. they just scerm.

History Channel Civil War game review

This game almost makes you feel as if you are really there, except for the fact that it doesn't hurt when you get shot. It is a challenge to make it to your objectives and you can learn facts about the Civil War while you play. Language is limited to the word "damn" and does not, as far as we have played, have God's name used disrespectfully.
Good game choice for those arm chair warriors or history buffs in your household.

Historic fun

Being a Civil War reenactor, I was skeptical this game would be accurate but was pleasantly surprised. While it's not down to the last detail accurate, it's close enough. You get to use several different period weapons and the scenerios are fun and challenging. It's great!

A video game that is educational

I bought this game for my 14 year old son and he loves it. He is a history buff and loves video games. This game marries the two. The great thing is the game is affiliated with the History Channel and there is a lot of educational information tucked away in the game. Even for a child not interested in history, it's a great way to entertain and sneak in a few details about the sacrifices made in our country during very different times.

This was the first History Channel game we purchased and it was worth the price. My son loved it so much that we also purchased the History Channel's Battle for the Pacific.

We highly recommend this game because it is fun and because of its historical tie in. Great Game.

I bought this item thinking it would be awosome. It was fun I got lost on a level for about 15 mins tho so if your not good at finding your way be cautious. Also, historical acuracy isnt perfect. gatling gun is there befor the 1st battle that had one and im not shure about the other wepons. Alot of wepons. would not pay 40 bucks for it but 30 is a good price for it. Farly good grafics. Also cannon fire is way over done there is a cannon that hits near you ever 10 seconds way to rapid.

My husband loves it

This was an X-mas gift for my husband and he really enjoys it. He is a big history buff and wanted it as soon as it came out! On another note, information and delivery time from [...] was excellent. You far exceeded my expectations!
