CIVIL WAR (Xbox 360) $39 at Walmart.com

[phantomfriar2002]

Shipping and tax end up making it under $45, but it's still $10 off the SRP at Gamestop/Ebgames:

Of course, whether this will be a lemon or a decent budget shooter (which is what Game Informer hinted that it was -- despite an apparent surplus of multiplayer options), remains to be seen.

I have never heard of this game. I wonder if it will be any good.

 

[shiftomnimega]

It's listed under "Strategy" on Gamefaqs. I think it might be worth a try.

 

[PyroGamer]

There are a few screens about, but they all look terrible.

I realize how intruiging it is at first glance... but no.

I second the civil war WII motion.

If you are using a rifle you shsouldn't be as upclose to eachother as the screen show ><

On the other hand people will still use to musket tactics...

Waiting for a review...

I think you play and officer and its more of a BiA game is what I hear tell.

 

[thrustbucket]

A shooter with muskets sounds intriguing and challenging, if it were done right. (Would be cool if reloading were a mini game with time bars, so your skill in reloading affects how fast you reload)

..that trailer is almost two years old. The game surely looks a LOT different now.

I found some recent pics:

I hope it's decent. I'd like to play it.

Now what would be cool if it was on the Wii and you have to use the controller to reload musket style

not to rain on the parade but wouldn't you ultimately know the outcome of this game?

There's a twist this time, Canada's involved

No more than you would in any WWII shooter.

They have a bunch of PC games out as well.
Nothing too noteworthy.
