Customer Reviews:

A Hysterical Channel Product [Posted on 2005-05-14]
This game lives up to the standards of the Hysterical Channel. Like most of their productions, it's a simplistic piece trash designed for the moronic masses who don't know any better. I paid $9.99 for it in Comp USA. They should have paid me to take it off their hands.

EXCITING! CHALLENGING! HISTORICALLY ACCURATE! [Posted on 2005-05-30]
Prepare for battle with one of the best Civil War games ever created. The History Channel's "Civil War: The Game," carries the player back to that moment in American history where heroism changed the face of our nation forever. After playing the game just once, I was hooked. Despite poor graphics, this game will challenge anyone's ability at military strategy, and gives the player a wealth of knowledge about the period through documents and photographs of the time.
So, it is once again the 1860's. Prepare to decide the fate of America! Good luck, and Godspeed!
Grade: A

Game freezes [Posted on 2005-10-19]
I got this game preplayed for a low price. I think it would be fun but I can not play it past 14 turns before it freezes. I was able to install the patch, but the problem persists. As stated in the other reviews, tech support is lacking. It seems that Activision was out to make a quick buck with the History channels logo.

Piece of crap! [Posted on 2005-12-15]
I am an avid Civil War buff and saw this at Comp USA one day. I decided to buy it, and I went home and installed it. The game worked fine, but it is incredibly bad! The graphics are terrible, you command like 5 people, you barely ever win, and it's turn-based! If you are looking for a GOOD Civil War game from The History Channel, I suggest Take Command 1861: The Battle of Bull Run

I could not even make this game work [Posted on 2007-05-08]
I did everything I was instructed to and the game would not even come up. I went to the web site to get troubleshooting info and did what they told me to there and could not get the game to come up. This was a real waste of money
