Medal of Honor, eat your heart out!
·Graphics might be touched up Quake III or something but they did a great job with them.
·Terrific sounds.
·Multiplayer is just amazing (thanks to the patch, not much lag either).
Bad Idea:
·No co-op mode.
·
·Trying to beat vetern mode Rambo style.
Overall:
Another WWII shooter, but stands a top of the million others to get the gold. Very addicting and will get you through many boring nights.

I own the original on the PC. I could still load that game up and play it because it wasn't just a typical shooter that has **** It was a great and revolutionary shooter for me. Being able to pin down your enemies actually between your sights or just hiding like a coward while you're team's excellent AI killed the Nazis for you is what I consider realistic. I got this game right after I got my Xbox360. I like how the game really took over after the first one, just resuming game play. The graphics are a little better, but nothing much (although the originals are still really good). They did some airbrushing on the screen shots it looks like. Now, the sounds, make up for that. The sounds actually bring the game more to life than the visuals with every boom and every tracer flying past your head.
Behind a solid engine and sound system, the story is very captivating. You start out as a Russian soldier who is working his way up the ranks. The snowy weather in abandoned buildings really add to the mood. Most of your snipers will hang out here. I love how the game starts out and sort of shoves you into the game. You actually grow to know your fellow men. Then it ends, and you're a British troop. In the original, I didn't like being the British but the game really put you in good steps of how it was like for the British soldiers. And then, we come down to the good ol' Americans. When I first saw us going up Omaha, I just shook my head thinking "Not another 'Saving Private Ryan' scene again.". Then, they did something different. They went up another side of the beach! You actually get the climb up ropes while your men fall down cliffs, and just go in gun-ho! Towards the end of the game, you actually feel like it shouldn't have ended. But, it all must end sometime.
The multiplayer mode is the same as before. Axis vs Allies. I thought I was going to have a boring time playing 7 other players online but I actually had a ton of fun. There's usually no lag. The best thing about the multiplayer is the instant replay feature is great too. I like seeing how the opposing team ended up slaying me. The maps are terrific too. The game modes are the same as most games but the fact that they added a few different capture points in the capture modes. Other than that, just a fun overall game.
The things I don't like are the lack of downloadables. Why can't we download more maps later? I want more and more and more (because gamers are greedy and for $60 a pop, we have the right to be!). So far, I've yet to see a good reason to own Xbox Live's Silver Service. It's free, but where are the game mods and downloads??!
