Robert E. Lee: Civil War General

To sum things up, the interface is intuitive, the graphics are good, the multimedia adds another dimension to the game, and I just can't find anything I didn't like about the game. I found so much more in this game than I had expected, and hope that Sierra makes more quality games like it. While it may not find as wide an audience and is not as long-lasting a classic as genre-setters like Civilization, Doom, and SimCity, this is an excellent game. It is the best of its kind that I have played and I give it a 92. This game grabs you and does not let go, and it deserves every single point it gets. If you want to find yourself pulled into a different era, faced with both the small and large-scale challenges of the Confederation, battling with both brawn and brains, this is the game for you. Even if you aren't sure if that describes you, buy this game anyway. You will like it. Very much.

With multiplayer network/modem support and cool Super VGA graphics, Robert E. Lee: Civil War General is a wonderful old-school wargame. It's a rebel yell for turn-based historical gaming.

Robert E. Lee was one of the most respected figures of the Civil War. Admired by both friend and foe, he demonstrated his tactical brilliance on numerous occasions. Frequently outnumbered by the Union forces, he managed to confuse, confound, and frustrate the Union generals that faced him on the battlefield. Robert E. Lee: Civil War General gives you the opportunity to duplicate his accomplishments. Can you do as well…or perhaps even do him one better?

Trotz einiger Ähnlichkeiten kommt die Bedienung nicht an die von Panzer General heran; ich vermisse liebgewonnenen Komfort wie etwa die Undo-Funktion. Auch eine Anzeige des Sichtbereichs der Kanonen wäre sehr nützlich. Außerdem ist der Umfang von Civil War General für meinen Geschmack etwas zu gering geraten: Die Kampagne endet leider schon nach acht Szenarios.

Kort sagt er Robert E. Lee: Civil War General et ganske godt strategispil, i hvert fald hvis man har temperament til trækbaserende spil. Spillet har ikke nogle deciderede mangler, musikken er god, grafikken forholdsvis god, og hvis du kunne lide Panzer General, er det sikkert noget for dig.

This game represents to me a mid-range Civil War game. By mid-range, I mean it is not overly complicated, yet isn't too simple. It achieves a balance between getting so involved in the rules that one loses sight of the object of the game. At the same time, it isn't so simple as to insult the intelligence of a player. This would be an excellent choice for the casual war gamer, but advanced ones should give it a careful once over before purchasing.

Wenn sich Spiele eines bestimmten Genres nur noch in Nuancen unterscheiden, können Sie bei der Kaufentscheidung auch gleich zu einem Würfel ihrer Wahl greifen. Die haarspaltenden Unterschiede zur "Großen Schlacht um Gettysburg" von empire: Grafisch schlichter und mit weniger Tiefgang, dafür etwas einsteigerfreundlicher und hinsichtlich der angebotenen Schlachten umfassender.
