i think alot of people are over analyzing this game and not giving it enough credit to be quite frank. firstly, if what you are looking for is another Halo, then you have come to the wrong place. remember folks, this is a CIVIL WAR game, not the next battlefield. admittedly, yes, the reload times are a little less to be desired on the battlefield, but as stated earlier, this is a civil war game, and unfortunately they haven't developed AK47's yet. the graphics aren't the prettiest thing i've seen, but as far as the gameplay goes, i think it's pretty solid. the targeting engine isn't always dead on, but then again, neither were musket balls in that time period, so i say it's a fair trade. the music and sound effects are ok, nothing to write home about, but solid none the less. the environment is very linear, which is dissappointing, i'm sure there were no invisible walls in the battle of bull run, but as far as reaching mission objectives, it's rather easy, that is, if you survive. on the whole i think that if what you are looking for is an accurate portrayal of a civil war battle (as opposed to the endless slew of WWII games out there) then this title is a solid game, although, it does have room for improvement. no multiplayer either splitscreen or online im afraid will hinder it's marketability, and reduce the game's audience. replay value is almost non-existent, as the north always wins. somehow i get the feeling this title was a bit rushed, and not polished as well as it should be, but it is a solid title nevertheless.
