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!
