Civil war is an ok game, if you don't mind slow (but realistic) load times, a lack of original plot, and terrible graphics. the combat is ok, and although the enemy AI isn't that great, it isn't incredibly bad, either. the friendly AI, on the other hand, makes enemies you'd find on the origanal playstation look smart. they stand in your way and refuse to move, charge straight at enemies that are firing at them, and find various other ways to get themselves killed in the first ten seconds of the game. The weapons (although not great) are the best part of the game. they are all affective, realistic late 1800's weapons. your health system is the same thing that is in the medal of honor games, allowing you to regeneraate your health to a certtain extent and then pick up health packs to finish the job. all in all Civil War a bad shooter set during an interesting time period.
