In a world filled with mediocre World War 2 games, Call of Duty 2 distances itself from the rest by not being crap.
Suprisingly awesome.
The first thing that stood out of course were the graphics, which are definately great. Everything from the evniroment to the character models to the guns are full of detail. You lose some of this in the splitscreen multiplayer.
But even so it still looks great.
The sound is also above average.
Voice work is adequet and the sounds of gunshots, explosions and planes flying overhead in the background is music to the ears and not in any way plain annoying.
The gameplay itself, being the important thing, is better than I expected.
It moves faster then I anticipated. Aiming is easier.
It's all smooth. You can jump in and shoot right away.
The online is also easy to jump into.
Smooth.
And suprisingly I haven't run into many annoying 12 year old types.
Anyway, great stuff. Pick it up!
