Pros Great Civil War Music and Video Clips
Cons Takes a bit to learn
Recommended it? Yes

Real Time Strategy

I really enjoyed Sid Meier's Gettysburg. It is a real time, strategy based game. It can be played single or multi-player. The Music in the game is really neat (fife drummers). The video clips in the game are genuine footage of civil war reenactors. It gives you a real... Read full review »

The First REAL Strategy Game

Pros Acual Strategy
Cons Runs Slow on a Slow computer
Recommended it? No

This is the first acual strategy game that makes the gamer need to use strategy, military tactics. No more worrying about getting the most money, or getting the most baracks so you can pump out the most number of units. This is real time strategy game at its best. You take control of either the...

Pros realism, random scenarios
Cons sharp learning curve
Recommended it? Yes

I remember when I was a child and used to play with my army men, I wished I could be like a god, sitting up on a hill and watching the battle as it unfolded. With Sid Meier's Gettysburg I finally can.
Once you have learned the intricacies of command (which admittedly does take some time) It... Read full review »

Gods and Generals?

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Real-time meets real strategy
Cons Continuity across the battle could by better
Recommended it? Yes

Sid Meier's Gettysburg (SMG) is a game that is a genre unto itself. It is a *real* military simulation occurring in real-time. Unlike the real-time strategy genre, sending units in no particular formation en masse for a scrum in the center of the map is sure death against an opponent adopting the... Read full review »

High Water Mark?

11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Replayable, visually satisfying terrain, generally accurate
Cons Iffy unit icons and casualty consequences, requires perfect hearing
Recommended it? Yes

Sid Meier has long been an icon in the gaming community - oddly enough, often for what has happened to his games after he has moved on (Railroad Tycoon and the Civilization series come to mind). Meier and newcomer Firaxis Games have recently entered the real-time strategy lists with 'Gettysburg!'... Read full review »

Sid Meier? Not this time.

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Sid Meier's name is on it.
Cons this game doesn't reflect a Sid Meier game
Recommended it? No

How could I go wrong with a Sid Meier game? I love historical content, and I loved the idea of Sid Meier doing a simulation game based on Gettysburg, but for me this game was over way to quickly.

I have been challenged on many of Sid Meier's gamed before, but this one was to beatable and... Read full review »

Lots of fun, keeps you coming back

Pros Many different battles, keeps you coming back for more!
Cons Computer could cheat a little bit less
Recommended it? Yes

Figuring out how to out manuever the computer can be tough. You can't see where their enemie's troops are coming from, but that's what makes it so fun! Sure, the computer seems to cheat a little. It always seems to know the perfect formations, how to outflank you, etc. But, after time, you'll catch... Read full review »

Pros Very interesting, can choose sides
Cons Takes a while to figure out
Recommended it? Yes

As a person who is very interested in the Civil War, when I first saw this game I had to buy it. I am not a big war games fan, but I really like to play this game. It gets me in on the action of the battle, and I can play either side that I feel like in a particular day. It's also a great way to... Read full review »

Pros Very detailed
Cons Music distracting at times
Recommended it? Yes

As a Lover of Civil War Battles, I was attracted to Sid Meier's Gettysburg. On the advice of a friend. At first I found the game some what overwhelming, especially in learning how to use the troops in proper formations for their various tasks, but with the aid of the on line help this task was soon...

Pros Ease of play, Historic plot
Cons Troop movement can be a pain in some cases
Recommended it? Yes

I have alway been a very big fan of the Civil War. I been looking for a Civil War game like this for a while. I do like the game, it is easy to learn and play. The graphics are fair, but the sounds could have been worked on some more. I beleve that there are only about five different sounds that... Read full review »
