What do you think of History Channel's Civil War games (FPS ones)?

[JohnSmirnov]

There is two games developed by Cauldron and published by Activision and and History Channel. One is called "The History Channel: Civil War - A Nation Divided", the oher "History Civil War: Secret Missions". I played both on PC and personally I didnt liked any of them, because of things like (from MY perspective though) lame gameplay, a lot of bugs, various mistakes and lack of various details (like innacurate uniforms durning various battles, lack of various units/regiments/infanrties/etc, and so on), being too short, too easy sometimes and AI is just awful most of the times. Just my opinion though, feel free to disagree and argue.

Anyway, here is for example a gameplay of that what is supposed to be "Ball Run", from "A Nation Divided":

I haven't played either of them, however I played Darkest of Days. And that game seems to be the only, actual like good civil war FPS singleplayer game. I mean it wasn't all about the Civil War, but I really enjoyed the actual whole game, not just the Civil war parts. I just played Civil war songs while playing the game and it really gave chill

Trust me, it's full of crap too. For example these WW1 levels that just made me cringe, they made SO MANY mistakes. Like it's supposed to be Russian Empire soldiers, not SOVIETS(!). Plus Soviets constantly scream "FOR STALIN!" which is also extremely incorrect and stupid since Stalin werent even at the power back then. And it's only a few examples of how much they screwed historical parts up, actually... they screwed many things up including plot itself. Just my opinion though, but I really didnt liked that game.
