Interesting game. It just doesn't do everything right.

Whats this a civil war game? yes, now the first thing that came to my mind when i heard about this was. Great i can stand with my team mates and get shot while im reloading. And guess what? you do get shot. A lot.

Gameplay in this game feels like its trying to be call of duty 2 or 3... but with health, which could be sort of the games downfall. The games health system is some what broken, and with that being said you would want cover to save that very important health. But when you hide behind cover, you still get shot by the people your hiding from. The guns in this game are authentic, but thats not always a good thing, you will find yourself in a firefight and missing then having to reload then correct your aim, then fire again and hope you hit the guy. There are lever action rifles in the game, but they seem to still have a long reload time and when he cocks the lever it takes him a while. The pistols in this game are downright useless. You can unload six shots into a guys chest and he will still come running at you. Oh and you have a sword, thats cool... run into a crowd and think sweet one hit kill. Wrong takes about five hits to down one man with sword. You can get stuck in the game easily. when i say that i mean you will get stuck on nothing. Over all this game feels rushed in the gameplay area

Graphics are nothing to be in awe for. The games like a xbox game with polished graphics, to try and pass as a 360 game. The only nice things about these graphics is the smoke from the guns, and the sun effects when you look near it. The games character models look nice from a far. but get close to them, its like you are looking at something that should be on xbox.

Sound is not to bad for the rifles. Sounds authentic. The voice acting on the other hand... its terrible, worst thing i have almost ever heard. And when you get shot, your guy sounds so retarded as if he was pinched or something.

the over all value of this game is nothing, its a good rent for achievements. but with no multiplayer and a downright boring single player... keep this to a rent
