Best Kept As A Secret! 1 April 2010
Fun:   
This is a disappointing effort from Activision. In its favour: it is one of the few FPS set before World War II; it is playable. That's about as far as the plus factors go. Against it: the graphics are mediocre; the AI is feeble; the Gameplay stilted and lacking any real sense of involvement - I am halfway through Mission 1 and although I appear to be fighting for the Confederates I am not sure which unit I am part of! Nor was any choice offered as to which side one fought; there is no Manual (either on a paper inclusion or on disc) and, although the basic controls are fairly generic for a FPS finding the extra features is a matter of trial and error e.g. I found out by accident that grenades were available when I pressed Key G and found I had thrown one! Two different sorts of carbine are provided (Spencer and Henry), but no handgun and no bladed weapon (Bowie knife/sabre). Activision's website appears never to have heard of the game so there is no technical support available. It's not even cheap! Save your money - at least until it slips into Bargain Basement!

if you are interested in the american civil war, like first person shooters and are a fan of battlefield vietnam then this is for you as long as you remember the weapons are old school and in the heat of battle one or two of them are single shot and need reloading and at close combat the enemy take some flooring even with a gun but the rest is all good a bargain buy.
