A decent game set in a unique time frame.
The Good: Unique time frame, Unique Weapons.
The Bad: Horrible Voiceacting, Way Too Short, Ok Graphics, You have to save your game, Linear Mission Objectives, Very Glitchy, Way too long reload time, Horrible Framerate.
Ok First off this game's unique. it takes place in the american Civil war. You play as the Confederacy and Union in seperate Campaigns. 6 missions in each combine for 12 total mission. that may sound like alot but, they can be completed in 15 minutes tops each on easy. It took me maybe 3-4 hours to beat the game will 42/50 acheivements(Note: i should have 44/50 but 2 of them are glitched). There isn't a replay value. There are accuracy achievements and hiddens pictures and documents. Heres a hint for the accuracy achievements. At the start of the mission Shoot a person once. Take out your knife/sword for the rest of the level. And theres all the accuracy achievements.
Onto the Online, Oh wait theres None! I would have loved to see a little online play they did not give us any.
Theres alot of glitches in this game. i was on maybe the 4th union mission When i looked and saw under the map. I don't know why but I did. Also, Hey do you like getting shot through solid Cover? Then this is the game for you! it seems like the Dev's of this game made all solid objects not so solid. it gets quite annoying after awhile.
Now for the Voiceacting. All of it is just disgusting. it seems like the voiceacters Weren't even trying. It's rather bad too watch so just skip the cutscenes in a whole.
The reload time is also very painful. It seems the Dev's made this game too Historically accurate for there own good. Most of the enemies you fight are sitting there just reloading so Just melee them.
The objectives are horribly Linear. Heres a few examples: Meet your commanding officer, Blow up Something(Blockade,Enemy camp) Sabotage something, And so on.
As always in the end the union do obviously win, The confederate campaign really doesn't have an ending.
Before i end this review i want to say a few things i forgot. The framerate during melee/knife/sword is Horrible. I don't have a tendency for seizures but the camera was so shacky i got very dizzy.And last but not least is there isn't autmoatic checkpoint saving. You need to open up the menu, press save, choose a spot, and then save. if you forget like i did alot you have to restart the whole mission.
In an all this was an awesome idea that was horribly executed.
A 5.5.......out of 10
