I had a lot of fun with this game when I was a teenager. You play as a mercenary that can pick up contracts and fight for either side.
Though if you actually want to learn about the details of the war I wouldn't look here.
Are Sumption's books any good?

England goes to war at France claiming to be rightful heirs to the throne but generally just wanting to expand their territory in France and to rule that territory in their own sovereignty, i.e. not as vassals to the French king.
They end up winning a ton of battles and capturing the French King at Poitiers mostly thanks to superiority of the longbow and aggressive-battle-seeking strategy. Half of Southern France gets ceded to England in the humiliating treat of Bretigny (1360).
Nine years later the conquered French territories turn to France for help because they're tired of being heavily taxed. Through legal maneuvering and Fabian strategy, the French conquer almost all the territory they lost back by 1389, where there is another treaty.
The two nations then take a break from fighting each other to fight civil wars: the Lancastrian dynasty rises in England and dukes of Burgundy struggle for increasing independence in France. The Lancastrian kings eventually reopen the war with France in 1415 partly to unite England against a common foe. They find allies in the Burgundians. Winning tons of battles with their longbows, again, Normandy is conquered and Paris occupied. However, the English cannot push south of the Loire valley into the "Kingdom of Bourges" ruled by the last surviving Valois, the Dauphin Charles. The English are defeated at the Siege of Orleans in 1429 and slowly are pushed back. The English proved unable to maintain their occupation over their foreign territories. The Burgundians, having more or less attained their objective of independence, desert their English allies. Paris is surrendered back to French in 1435 in exchange for a truce.
War reopens by 1449. Normandy is liberated in 1450 and English lose southern French territories by 1453. The war ends without a truce.

Yes, they are very good. Although they are not as definitive as they'd like to be. I'd recommend reading them plus Roger's War Cruel and Sharp.

Laurence Olivier and Kenneth Branaugh have both made great film versions of Shakespeare's Henry V.
