History Channel Civil War A Nation Divided
History Channel: Civil War brings you into America’s bloodiest war. Carnage and chaos are everywhere, and withering fire cuts down your best regiments. The screams of the wounded are deafening, but the destiny of a country is in your hands. Rally the troops and organize a counterattack — Your strategic decision and talent as a commander will decide if the Union is preserved or if Dixie wins its independence.
3 Stars finaly!a game where you can be the south!
the history channel helped throw this one together.its accurate historicly.it gives the story in detail before each battle.each battle is a real battle.the objectives are real things the soldiers did to turn the tide of the battle in thier favor etc.if your kids like shooting stuff up get them this game.its very educational but at the same time quite fun.
the guns are also the same as back in the day also.so be ready to reload A LOT and have to use tools and what not to set your gun up to fire again.some guns have to be partialy taken apart also.you have your standard explosive/shotgun/rifle/sniper/melee set up with most shoot em up games.but these ones are quite slow.but if it helps the others you are battling have slow old weopons as well.
i really enjoyed playing this game.my only real beef is this.i checked on all of americas 11 wars and only 3 of them have a video game for them unless you are on pc.ww2,viet nam and the civil war werent the only wars.there are 8 more.i say in the interest of memorial day,education and money someone should get off thier butt and get started on this already!
1 Star Ordered for PS2 got Xbox version
I ordered the PS2 version but received the Xbox version. Can’t find anyplace online to return it and that’s $60 thrown away. Won’t order games at Christmas time anymore online from this place.
1 Star Avoid This Game!
This is one of the most worthless games I have had the mischance to purchase. The graphics are awful, the story line subpar, the game play just downright sucks. You cannot avoid enemy fire no matter how you try. You can stand 2 feet in front of a bad guy and fire six rounds from your revolver at point blank range and miss. Enemies appear out of thin air in areas that you just cleared. The weapons sites are useless, it’s better to aim from the hip. Ducking behind objects seems to draw fire more than standing in the middle of an open field. Trench fighting is nuts, the enemy storms over the top of your trench, from side passages and out of bunkers while you are confined to moving forward or back the way you came. Enemy sharp shooters can’t miss while you can’t hit the back side of a barn door with a hand full of chicken feed. And the hidden missions/objects…. OMG…. To activate an object or pickup an item requires that you stand in the exact correct spot at the exact correct angle and pray that the enemy fires at something else while you scream at the screen in the attempt to get your guy to pick up or activate the item. Only the most hardened history nuts will gain any pleasure from this game. Don’t make the mistake I did, rent it don’t buy it.
4 Stars Not as bad as everyone is making it out to be
First off Kudos to the History Channel for making a game that was different and enlightining, I was sick of playing the same old WWII games. Going into the game I wasn’t expecting much given all the negative reviews that have been posted, however since this is pretty much the only Civil War game on the market I decided to give it a shot.
Now let be realistic, is the game as fast paced as lets just say Call of Duty 4? No but then again we can’t compare this game to ANY other FPS games out there, why? Because this game is the only FPS set in the 1860’s where the method of warfare was far different than what we know today or even in WWII.
Each mission is nicely introduced with a brief History lesson which leads you into what you have to do. I would have loved to be behind that Stone Wall in Gettysburg making the last stand and beating back the Confedrates,but the point of the whole game to let you know that there was more to the story than just the major conflicts of every battle. After the mission there is an outro on the outcome of the battle.
As for the fighting itself yes I did notice while I was ducked behind a wagon or building that I was still getting hit, but then I noticed it was because the enemy was trying to flank me and I had guys on my sides shooting at me.
It was nice to finally have different authentic weapons from the era
to see how they worked, I was growing tired of MP40’s
The graphics were pretty good and not at all bad for what it was
My only knock on this game was that the mission’s were far too short, and the sayings of your comardes were far too repitative.
If you are looking for something different from your tradtional FPS and get a good history lesson while you do it than I strongly recommend this.
5 Stars BEST GAME EVER MADE
