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

    You should do your best to stay as far away from this game as you possibly can.

    Good Idea, but it too short. Faster gameplay with more things going on would make it a LOT better.

    If you like to step out and shoot then reload in a game for a hundred times, this your game. If not don't bother.
