The graphics look ok?!?!?

Though one of the biggest wars in America's history, the Civil War isn't that big when it comes to games. World War II dominates the wargame category, with titles on just about every platform in multiple genres.
Activision Value is hoping to give gamers a new history lesson this fall when it releases The History Channel Civil War. Though the game's existence isn't news, the details are. Previously revealed for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 2, Civil War will also be released on the PC.
Civil War will be a first-person action game and will take place during 12 of the war's most notorious battles, including Gettysburg, Bull Run, and Antietam. The game will feature authentic guns, like repeating rifles, revolvers, and Gatling guns, but it will also feature plenty of gritty hand-to-hand combat with bayonets, sabers, and good old-fashioned fists. Gamers can play as either the Confederate or Union soldiers.
The History Channel Civil War is rated T for Teen and will hit stores November 14. The game will cost $49.99 on the Xbox 360, $39.99 on the PlayStation 2, and $29.99 on the PC.

Looks like it might be a pretty cool game. I might have to pick it up.

Whoa- looks really good! I wonder what it plays like? Halo, Battlefield FPS style??

There are hardly any Civil War games- I'm gonna check this one out.

Crap, all I have our really awful Civil War computer games......

I do not think I can dish out that kind of money for one game.

I can see the pics you attached, but I assumed they were for the 360. You know what assuming does, it makes an ass out of u and me:) . Are those screenshots from the PS2?

I saw it at Rhino yesterday but I couldn't bring myself to buy it. I hope they release a demo on marketplace so that we can try it out first.

Yeah, he also made a game about Antietam and South Mountain. I wish he would have made more.

I'm a huge CW buff, so I'm really excited about this game. I'll be getting a 360 in a few months and now I plan to get this game. Hopefully it won't disappoint, as most CW games tend to do.
