Great Real Time Strategy Game, Jan 16, 2010
by Jarrad Victor (El Paso, TX)
I liked the game very much because I am a civil war buff. I liked how you can use the cavalry to beat the artillery, artillery beats infantry and infantry beat cavalry. Very good fighting scene graphics for a game of this type. I also enjoyed how you can use the terrain to your advantage and your opponents disadvantage.

This game is 3d and it is really cool, but it takes about an hour. This game is awesome and it doesn’t cost that much money so I hope you like it!!!!!!!!
Gettysburg Review, Jan 15, 2010
by Sigfredo Ramos (Madrid Spain)
This game is what civil war nuts like me would want! Great graphics, excellent sound, great combat, and most of all super accurate units and battlefields. Without a doubt a 2 thumbs up, 5 star game!
tactics, visual, sounds... its worth it., Dec 09, 2009
by John Amersfort (Falls Church, VA USA)
No strategy required to understand the instructions and download the game and yet a player’s cunning tactics can readily be employed during the course of this game in a very realistic setting. The basic fighting is truly simple but none of the fun would exist without the visuals and sound. Also the function of artillery is not well explained, but just moving these battalions around gives a sense of power and intelligence. What if the south had won?

American Civil War: Gettysburg Player Comments
- "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." - Stam from Philadelphia, PA USA, 4.5/5 stars
- "There really aren't that many games that are based on the civil war that are good. But i have to say this is way up on my list. This game is very strategic and it has great graphics." - Jordan from Centralia,IL, 5/5 stars
- "This game gives you the history of key battles of the Civil War - without the boring lectures in class. It puts you in command of Union and Confederate forces to see what it was like to be the Generals back then. Interesting control layouts and skirmish modes makes it a really good game to get." - Tuan from USA, 4.5/5 stars
- "This game is an action packed game that shows you and lets you play the battle of Gettysburg. You can watch your battle after you have played it and see what you have done." - Andrew from Santa Ana,CA,USA, 5/5 stars
