History's Greatest battles like you have never seen them before

--Graphics-- 5.5
So the graphics in this game weren't up to par, i really dont care. The overall landscape was amazing i could feel like i was really there in those battles, the background was teeming with random A.I. and gunfire from all directions was a nice perk. Despite the PS2ish quality graphics i found this one to be visually okay.

--Story-- 6.5
The plot of this one is beyond unique. You are a Civil War era soldier who is wounded in combat, a bubble opens after your commander falls and you are taken to the "future". You get to travel back in time and fight in some of the greatest battles of our history. With modern to future weapons. Woot.

--Gameplay-- 7.0
Well as i said before you get to use guns from our age in the past what more is there. Well there is the fact that you need to be careful who you kill, i guess killing everybody isnt good for the timeline. But the real time reloading is on of the nice features in the game, i just didn't like how easy it was to mess up reloading a pistol. In the past you also have to deal with limited range, this means no free-roam. If that were in it, yeah it would have been great.

--Overall-- 6.5
So this game does justice to the FPS but it lacks many qualities of a great game. lets face it, this game came out as a filler before the true FPS's come out, it brings history to life and may be a great historic game but those types of games rarely make it. But i do recommend it just to get one of the achievements, it involves punching a horse. 100 for that one.
