After playing through the game, we couldn't help but wonder why Civil War: A Nation Divided wasn't released at a lower price point. The game features subpar graphics, no multiplayer mode, poor AI, and a fairly short single-player campaign.

At best, Civil War is a weekend rental for shooter fans, history buffs, or Achievement miners who aren't knee deep in this fall's blockbuster military games. Be prepared to learn a little and reload a lot - while the buckshot flies all around you.

Sure, you've got some historic weapons and rally cries you won't likely hear in another game. Yet, the shooting isn't fun and the gameplay doesn't do anything to bring the feel of the Civil War to life.

It is not a great game. But you will have a couple of good laughs while playing it.

The History Channel: Civil War - A Nation Divided is an average game for the most part, I liked being given the backgrounds on the battles before playing them. Both campaigns are alright (some missions are very tedious). The graphics though are PS2 or Xbox -ish "not very good".

A breath of fresh air when every other historical first person shooter is focusing on World War II, but unfortunately the game isn’t interesting enough to warrant a $50 purchase when you pick up the substantially better "Call of Duty 3" for a few dollars more.

It’s a must play for any Civil War-loving gamers out there, and a decent rental for anyone curious to experience a war game from a war other than World War II for a change.

While Civil War isn’t going to win over most FPS fans the game does show a huge amount of potential.

History Channel: Civil War is good for a few mindless hours of shooting action, but not much else. History buffs need not apply.

A game based on the American Civil War could get fans excited, and you'd expect more when it carries the History Channel name. A thoroughly disappointing outing.

The price tag of $50 seems almost insulting to anyone who buys this game, as it has too many problems to even consider warranting a run-through.
