This review is from: Sid Meier's Civil War Collection (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

Several reviewers mentioned Windows XP problems. Game will work correctly with XP. Need to download and install Gettysburg's Windows 2000/XP compatibility patch.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best War between the states game, June 17, 2002

This is one of the greatest war games ever. The detail they put in the terrain and the regiments is incrdible. Both southern and northern armys has every regiment,brigade,division and corp in it. The regiments may not have 300 actual men in them but they are put to scale. The detail of this game is incredible. You can play all the small battles in the battle. So you can play Picketts charge at Gettysburg or you can play The Bloody Lane at Antietam. When I first got the game I did nothing for 2 days. I did not eat.all I did was sleep and go to the bathroom. Get this game.

I bought this game because a review on this site said a patch allowed you to play it on windows xp. I found the patch and it workded so dont listen to the people who say it doesn't work on xp. Ok now to the game, the game is very fun and it lets you command either Federal of Confederate troops at the battle of Gettysburg Antietam and South Mountain. The games graphics are so so but the gameplay and sound more than make up for it. The sound is very good, it's great to hear bugle calls and fifes as the troops march. The gameplay is equally good it gives a complete feel of control over the entire field of battle, my only gripe is that I seem to have a problem with cowards in my army, every time I charge or double time a confederate position my troops scream and run in the other direction, this dosent always happen but it occurs more often than not. Sid Meier is very good at designing games and this game is a testament to his sucsess.
