When I first popped the game in I knew what was going to come from playing this game. Typical really. The second my friends fired off message after message on xbox live- one even called me. "OMG GS WHORE LOLZ" Losers... but it is true, the game is bad, but the points are plentfull and easy. Down to the gameplay this title can bring some realistic, and not so realistic elements and smash them into each other to make another crappy game we have all played and wished we didn't. Lets see- realistically speaking at least the enemies die sooner or later after you shoot them. Thing is I felt like I was fighting the clone army- not the diverse array of soldiers that fought for there beliefs long ago. For this game to fork over some points they expect you to get 95% accuracy in each level but unfortunatly the games enemies tend to randomly move or just die with no one else in sight! So easy thing to do is just shoot one in the chest and then go on a melee spree smacking every last person on the map! Not only that but the game is so linear a 5 year old could beat it! Levels really do consist of shoot-melee-melee-melee-shoot-shoot-press a-shoot-shoot-reload-wait six seconds-shoot-melee-press a-press a. Woohoo! Mission complete! With crappy graphics, horrible gameplay, atrocious level design, awful sound effects and voices, boring cutscenes and a story line worse then reading about it in the history books i'm surprised how they got the History Channel endorsement! Well at least it has 1000 gamerscore so its a good rent for a boost in your gamerscore- happy Confederate/Yankee hunting- this game hates you.
