This game is great and i just love civil war games because they just have a lot of life to them, but this game isn’t the best it’s grafics are kind of like paper. It’s okay i guess.

My son is learning about the civil war and he was excited to play this game. The facts come alive and he is excited to learn more about history.

this game is so cool you can choose to control either side of battle! you can keep the Yankees off of your land or stabilize your rights as the united states and is suitable for children and adults alike. 

Fantastic! One of the best war games., Jun 14, 2008

~*~First off~*~
This game has amazing graphics! Although, it could be a little less laggy. The accuracy in the history is also amazing! This game is great for ages 8-16 (my opinion)~*~

~*~Like~*~
I loved the idea of this game, controlling your own units in a war just seems so fun! There are alot of missions which I like to see in a game. Also, the missions actually took some effort to beat unlike some games where it is so easy that you might as well not play them.  It was cool that the game lets you play as the North aswell as the South.  The fortify option in the game just blew my mind, I mean HOW DID THEY THINK OF THAT!?!?! Also, it was cool how you got protection if you were in a tree or behind a fence, etc. and when you think about it, there is some math involved O.o

~*~Dislike~*~
I would have liked it if there were more types of units, and what about boats? O.o It would be cool to fight in the water! :D

~*~Conclusion~*~
Great game, need I say more? I don’t think so ;)

Superb, Highly Addictive, May 10, 2008

by Stam (Philadelphia, PA USA)

What a Wonderful game. This game could be played in history class, thats how historically acurate it is. The Graphics are great, you can see each guy reload, fire etc. This is really a great strategy game. I liked how your men could take cover in woods and fortify, but i would have liked that when you"fortify" your men actually build a small fort that grows over time. Currently fortification only builds a white transperant wall around you. The skirmish is also amazing, especially if you take away one sides money and give it to yourself :). The game was definitely worth the download time and money, and is a game for kids and adults alike.

Best Civil War game to date!, May 08, 2008

by Randy (NY)

It seems the gaming industries focus the WW era and while it is definitely a good subject for shoot-em-up games I think that many gaming producers forget about the civil war/revolution eras which also make good games.

Fortunately Fireaxis has created the Civil War/Gettysburg games. While they are nowa few years old they are still fun to play… they have history and also still gives an exciting strategic game-play. I love this game! I hope Sid game brings out a new one soon…

If you are a fan of the civil war era you’ll love this game…

Well it has some of the best graphics I’ve ever seen. It probably has better graphics than call of duty 4. I love the game especially the little rock map. This has the best graphics ever! Plus I like the way you can choose between a full regiment and a half-regiment. It is historically accurate in campaign mode. Best game ever!!!

Gettysburg, Apr 13, 2008

by Dan Garcia (Houston ,TX USA)

It is great I love how realistic it is. The only thing I didn’t like was not being able to move cannons into position fast enough. Other than that it was perfect especially the historical accuracy, down to even the names of the commanders and exactly where they were. The price is a little high and I cannot afford it so I really need to get the free download , but it is still a great game. It is the first game I actually tried , and I really liked it but overall it was an A.

This game has such a great way of gameplay. Whats great tho is that say you like the south better than the union, You can be the union or the confederates. That allows you pick who wins. And its also perfect for history class!!lol

Great Civil War Game, Mar 29, 2008

by A. V. (Milwaukee, WI)

I love this game! I am a reenactor and am very interested in the civil war. This game honestly is one of the better games that i have played. The combination of graphics and strategy are very good. Both the skirmish and campaign modes are fun. I would suggest this game to a friend.
