Fun for the first 15 minutes
For the first few minutes it was fun, using the sword and the realistic long reload. After a while though the reload was annoying, especially using the one shot rifle. (Sniper though didn't take as long). After I while it was easier to charge the enemy as the 6 shot shotgun is unaccurate and impossible to hit at long distance. I would use the 6 shot pistol and switch to the sword. The AI is dumb and charges at you but are crackshots even with the lousy guns and seem to know where you are even when you walk behind bushes.
Grenades something I didn't know existed in the 1800's are weak and can barely be thrown a few feet. My old mom can throw farther. Campain can be beaten in 4-5 hours and is fun if you like run and gun games. Its weird though how it feels like Call of Duty's close combat and intense action, but when I watch old movies and documentaries, soldiers stood in lines shooting each other, and march and or charge, without cover.
