Solid FPS which will make you believe your actually fighting in WWII

User Rating: 8.9 | Call of Duty 2 X360
First things first, I have 5 of the 360's launch titles and this is probably my favourite. First time i played it I couldnt believe the graphics - on HDTV they really do shine, and the sound, best use of it in a game that I have played for a long time, (if you have surround sound your in for a treat). The game draws you in at a slow pace making you do training missions but 10 minutes down the line your in a full frontal head on assault on the german HQ,.

In case you didnt know, the game is based on 3 characters, a Russian, an Englishman and an American, all with the same goal, wiping out those 'bloody jerries' The missions are spread along a timeline and when you complete a mission you get a small cutscene of what happened after in real life and the game is so immersive that you start thinking how terrible it really was back then. I like WWII history anyway and quite liked finding out what happened.

The game itself isnt that long, i completed normal mode in around 5 - 6 hours and went back for seconds on veteran which took me a little longer. Graphics are superb, sound and gameplay are superb, but there are a few flaws to the game. Multiplayer is terrible, there is so much lag on xbox live that its really impossible to play if you have more than 3 people playing at the same time. Also the longevity of the game is not really enough, 2 more campaigns would of been excellent but it still kept me entertained for a while and Im glad I bought it. If you like FPS's and not too worried about multiplayer then what are you waiting for - get this.
