Video Game Reviews of American Conquest: Divided Nation
Customer Review: An Ambitious Undertaking Is a Mixed Bag
Summary: 3 Stars
Since Sid Meiers has not released any Civil War games lately, I had high hopes of a very enjoyable real time Civil War real time strategy game when I purchased AC:DN.
To be honest, the game is a mixed bag and here are my comments:
Good:
1. Different wars covered - War of 1812, Mexican-American War, Civil War.
2. Graphics seem to be pretty good.
3. Ample number of scenarios and campaigns to play.
4. Great if you like controlling thousands of figures.
5. Good variety of uniforms shown.
Bad:
1. Manual is awful! Other games I have (Sid Meiers Gettysburg and Antietam, Take Command) have excellent manuals that are easy to read and comprehend. The manual for AC:DN is light and not very helpful.
2. No tutorials. Would have been nice to have some to demonstrate before you play.
3. Game comprehension - the game is a bit more difficult to comprehend and some strategies I learned by accident!
All in all, this is a game that had great potential but didn't quite deliver. CDV should go back to the drawing board and come up with a much better manual, tutorials, and easier-to-understand and execute commands.
A mixed bag.
