Game play: This has a lot of action and strategy. They took FSW and mixed it with COD. It's a FPS but, you have full command over your two teams. The controls are a littlie different at first. But it’s made better for commands. Like in FSW you just tell your team what to do. In this you use the Left trigger to call the plays. Very easy. And the computer A.I is good. Your teammates will find cover and for the most part do there job. This game is not run-n-gun. You have to really be on top of what’s going on. The flanking is perfect. Have your man lay down fire while you flank around is done well. Only thing I really didn't like was the loading times. 10 to 30 seconds takes me back to P1 days. But the levels are very open and big, so I can understand. Another thing you will see here and there are some glitches like people sliding around and the Germans doing odd things. But nothing big. Graphics: Very good player models and each solider has his own look. You really get a feel of WWII from the landscape to the stages. They are all done well. The guns look real like they should. And the iron sight is cool. But could have been done better. Overall very good job. Sound: Also on par like the graphics. If you seen "We were Soldiers" or "Saving Private Ryan” then you know how this game should sound. The guns are loud and all have there unique sound. The VO’s sound good. But don't look at the person talking cause it won't match up. There sound effects all over the game from bombs to planes flying over. And if you have a 5.1 sound system you wont be let down. Best sound in a WWII game so far. Value: All I can say is XBOX LIVE!!! This is where the game (for me) gets good. The SP is good and all but going online is even better. It's not like most other games with DM and TDM. They have done something different. It’s like this.You have to do missions that can be played with 2-4 players. You get to command a team while doing the mission . Usually it runs like this. The Americans have to find something (deom/files/ect) and get to a point on the map to win. Or blow something up. It sounds easy but it's not. The Germans usually have to defend or stop what the Americans are doing. This creates some crazy battles. The action is like no other. Team work is the key to winning. They really did it big with the online play. The replay value will keep this game alive for a long time with new DLC. Overall I love this game. It has done what other games should have done a long time ago. FSW has nothing on this. This game is the best WWII game on the Xbox to date. And with a great single player and even better multi player. This is a must buy for anybody.
