Call of Duty: 1860s Style.
Most of the Historic First Person Shooters with the exception of the few set in Vietnam, have the same setting either World War II in Europe from 1942-1945 or Modern times.
Civil War finally breaks that trend, and does it fairly well. For the first time you can experence the Civil War from first person level. While the weapons used can be a headache. Gamers should remember these weapons arn't M1 Garandes or M16s, they are Springfield rifles and Muskets, which were single shot or were the experiments that lead to the creation of the weapons seen in many World War II, Vietnam, and Modern FPSs, and were very inaccurate and required a lot of time to reload.
Outside of the long reload times, the major flaws with this game is that it's campaign is too short, it would have been better to chronicle the entire civil war with a wider varitey of missions. The other major flaw is it's lack of multiplayer.
This game has a lot of potental but comes up short on many levels. However the fact that it's a different war makes it worth the money.
