History Channel Civil War: Secret Missions - Xbox 360

The History Channel's Civil War: Secret missions is their second Civil War video game. If you played the first (A Nation Divided) you will notice many improvements, especially in AI soldiers. AI infantry ducks and covers, avoids being shot at much better than in the first. Otherwise the perameters are similar: levels involve clearing enemies and destroying targets. There is a gatling gun and naval mission.Overall the missions are longer than the first Civil War game, but it keeps much of the flavor of the original. Secret Missions places you in some of the most important and pivotal moments of the Civil War and in a way that few games can realize, makes you get up and close with your opponents because your weapons have limited range, limited ammo, and relatively long reload times. It must have been a brutal war.Of course there would be SO MUCH MORE that could be done with the game. I can only imagine larger battlefields if there were a multiplayer (you and buddies to practice volley firing, charging en masse with bayonets), but alas this is not possible.This is enjoyable afternoon on easy and can be quite a challenge on higher levels. Anyone with connections over at History Channel, let them know: the game is a blast but multiplayer would have made it possible to truly re-create some of the greatest moments of the Civil War (Third installment please????)

It's really fun to try the different weapons but the amount of unique game play is very short. Expect to have a lot of fun playing this for a couple of hours but then leave it on a shelf

Would love to rate it but when I received it, it didn't work.

Grandson really enjoyed this..great price..fast shipment

this game is ok, i beat it very quickly and there aren't many levels, i wish i had spent my money on something else

I just got this game a couple days ago, and played for hours. The graphics are poor , but you could have your kids play it to learn more about this tragic war!

This games surprised me very well. You are taught alot about the batttles of the civil war during your time in school as a child, but this game had historical information that I never heard about. I always heard about the major points of all the epic battles (Gettysburg, Pickets charge, etc) but this game showed me those not so glorified (secret) missions that were just as important as the main battle that took place. I highly recommend this game to any school aged child who is studying the Civil War.

Received the game on time...I know it's an older game but I have had plenty of fun playing it.
