Excellent WWII shooter. With plenty of replay value if you don't mind the linear maps.
As most know by now in ths game one starts off play as a conscript Russian solider fighting off the Germans in frozen Stalingrad. Then when a few of those mission under the belt, the British campaigns in the deserts of N. Arfica and then urban France, are unlocked, then finally the American campaigns in France, and Germany. As you play a different solider in each campaign one will have to get use to different weapons from each nation. The weapons all seem to be similar to each other within their respective classes, such as sub-machine guns all seem to similar accuracy, and knock down power. Though there magazine capacity is different. One can also pick up German weapons, and gernades. And use German heavy machine guns and vehicles in limited roles.
The enemy AI is quite good, though in the harder levels they tend to charge positions, or wait for you to make a move then react to it. They will flank when possible as others pin you down with wither suppressive fire or they might hide in some bushes waiting for the player to pass. There does seem to be alot of scripting on the battlefields, as certain action seem to play out the same way each time you play. Though, the enemy AI will react different to the players moves. Your squad mates are good in a supportive role though you have to lead the charge, across the terrian, your teammates will then follow. New team mates are always spawned in when more are needed.
Issues I have with this game is the very linear gameplay. One is always moving through restricted narrow areas. At times it is very confinig to be lead down city streets and be able to take cover in buildings. Another issue is the non destructive enviorments. Very little of the world can be damaged by gun fire. Only in scripted sequences do walls or buildings collapse. The player can only destroy some small items like glass bottles.
