I don't know why people wouldn't like this game. It a great breath of fresh air after mobs of WWII shooters it is good to see that someone can have the decency to come up with something at least a little bit original. Now sure the gameplay is a little odd but who cares it's the civil war and the technology is pretty neat.

I don't know why people are trashing this game. I've been playing it and it is LOADS of fun. Yes of course it has it's flaws. It wasn't ever meant to be the next Call of Duty. The few flaws are, obviously, it has no multiplayer online or otherwise. But people, multiplayer isn't everything! Second of all would be the health system. If you've played Resistance Fall of Man on the PS3 then you will know that the health system is kind of similar. You get 5 green stars. The stars will regenerate but only up to one star. If you lose a star you have to find a med pack. Another qualm people may have is that the weapons take forever to reload. HELLO! It's the Civil War. Muskets take forever to load. The one major glitch I have noticed is that sometimes you be perfectly aligned to shoot someone, fire your gun, and they don't even flinch. The last thing is that the control sceme is slightly confusing but once you get used to is, it isn't that difficult. Over all though this is a great game! It is very historically accurate in the weapons and the reload times. Pwning with a cannon? Come on! For Civil War that's amazing! And you will laugh yourself senseless when the enemy comes running at you screaming only to be shot in the head by you who saw them coming from 5 miles away. The graphics are amazing all things considered and it will get your blood rushing when you charge into a group of soldiers only to have to retreat because they all jump you. Alot of people say this game is hard and it is somewhat until you get used to it and the tactics. Give it a try. If you like Call of Duty you will not be disappointed at this game.
