    History Channel: Civil War is good for a few mindless hours of shooting action, but not much else. History buffs need not apply.

    Ok game for value software, however I could only play this game in windowed mode. Activision has yet to come up with a patch for some Nvidia cards...unacceptable. Graphics were OK but AI was not up to the standards of Call of Duty or MOH. Very linear game play, with too few missions. It could have been a winner, Cauldron dropped the ball on this one. Get it used or in the bargain bin.… Expand

    Civil War on crack! This game is total chaos! Every few feet around you is exploding like mortars and bombs are going off everwhere constantly and it never stops! So unrealistic. This game is also extremely linear. There are invisible walls everywhere that keep you headed down a very narrow path so that the very scripted events can happen. You also have to disable your antialiasing if you force it on your video card, unless you like huge squares on the screen while playing. I also know how all the soldiers died now in the civil war..... from freakin' reloading!!! At first the very long gun reloading times are ok, but they quickly get tiresome later on. I completed many levels simply by grabbing my knife and hacking the other soldiers away while they fumbled with their rifles to reload. This game is a budget title at a not so budget beginning price. Not a keeper in my opinion.… Expand
