The History -- Civil War: Secret Missions (PlayStation 2, 2008)

...my rating 4/5 .... this is a great game if you like the civil war, shooters, some strategy, history, etc. each scene opens up with a great telling of important segments of the war. you starts off as the REBS, and finish off as the NORTH. this isn't your usual shooter that you have unlimited bullets, and fire 1,000 rounds per second. it is however, sped up so that you wont get board with reloading. eg. musket fire is placing 2 pre-prepared packets and tamping it down - instead of ripping open the powder, placing ball, tamping, firing cap,etc. so it is the best of both. you can see you have to make your shots count- otherwise you are exposed. so realistic in that respect - which is great. you also have a rapid shooting rife and sniper rifle. i question if some of these weapons were around then; but snipering is fun! you can shoot cannons, and the always fun Gattling gun. don't have to turn crank to fire- automatic - and yes, unlimited bullets. you must use strategy on best method & cover for attack. the game is short, but great for replaying. the story is just disjointed segments of the war- so you get a good taste for what it was like back then. oh ya, you get to shoot onto towns using a canon from a moving ship. also a moving train car with the Gattling gun. anything can be produced better and more complex, but for a good price - you get a very good game that wont gather dust for long! it does give a good representation of combat of the time, just sped-up = so to reach more buyers. i would rather take the time to do actual full re-loads of the musket, etc ... but that is for the true re-enactor, not the video game masses. again, very good taste of realism of the civil war - small taste that leaves you wanting more !!!! 4 / 5. graphics on the ps2 bring rating down a touch.

The battles,Shotting, The Missions. All around great action packed game... Seen the Game advetized on the History Channel wanted to check it out

I bought it because I have to the first one and this game is just as good as the first one, the graphics are good and certain sections are pretty hard but that is how I like my games

THIS IS AN AWESOME GAME. I PURCHASED IT FOR MY FIANCE AND HE LOVED IT AND I ENJOYED WATCHING HIM PLAY IT. IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST GAMES HE EVER PLAYED ON PS2 AND IT WAS AMAZING. WE NOW HAVE ALL THE HISTORY CHANNEL GAMES THAT THEY MAKE AND THEY ARE ALL REALLY GREAT GAMES. I WISH THEY WOULD COME OUT WITH MORE.

THIS GAME IS FILLED WITH ACTION, BLOOD, AND A LOT OF SHOOTING. THE MISSIONS ARE CHALLENGING AND THE GAME IS EASY TO FIGURE OUT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME AND THE OTHERS THE HISTORY CHANNEL MAKES. I WOULD RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE 16 AND OVER. THIS GAME IS BASED ON REAL CIVIL WAR MISSIONS AND IS A GREAT LESSON IN HISTORY AS WELL. IN BETWEEN MISSIONS THEY HAVE MOVIE CLIPS ABOUT WHAT REALLY HAPPEND AT THAT TIME IN HISTORY. AWESOME, AWESOME GAME!!!

Historicaly acurate. Great game overall. Some levels almost seemed impossible, but after a while of getting used to the game settings the game became fun and challenging.

Product was in excellent condition and it was shipped very fast. No scratches and the game was still in the plastic.

The civil war game was here in 3 days thanks for fast action. My son is playing it and enjoying it very much. He will get many years of enjoyment for this game.
