Part strategy, part slapstick cartoon, North and South makes the American Civil War look like a Saturday morning show. You juggle troop movements, train robberies, and spontaneous lightning strikes — because history apparently needed weather hazards. It’s fast, funny, and surprisingly addictive, with a multiplayer mode that ruins friendships faster than Monopoly. The comic-book art style and goofy animations make it impossible to take seriously — and that’s exactly the point.
"All in all, a pretty good mix of arcade sequences and strategy. I doubt if it will appeal to hardened strategists, but it does introduce an element of planning and organisation for those who are normally rabid joystick wagglers. However, I'm not sure that it will stay in many people's drivers for long, as it seemed fairly straightforward after a while. Still, it's really good fun and well worth a look, but give it the once-over before you buy it" - Zero Magazine 02
