Awesome for history
The Good: You get to use guns from that time, the graphic are pretty good and you can learn how to be accurate in this game. You can use your gun to hit people as well as a sword to stab people.
The Bad: You don't actually fight on a battle field, the game is very linear you have paths to follow instead of being like it was in the actual war were you could walk any where you want well don't get your hopes up because you don't even get to live out Picket's Charge.
I bought this game because i love the civil war and i am a history buff.
