A truly memorable WW2 experience.
The game has a lot of campaigns letting you play as 3 armies: Britain, America and Russia. The missions are fairly varied, and in a couple of the missions in the British campaign you get to drive a tank which is cool. While it might just look like any old WW2 shooter, it is in fact way more intense than most shooters, mainly because the battles are very big and you'll never be fighting on your own meaning you dont feel much better than anyone else. The gameplay overall is what I wanted from a WW2 shooter.
Multiplayer next. Well, it isnt perfect of course but it is an enjoyable game mode. Not nearlly as impressive as the single player though. Its fairly addictive but not amazing. Your getting the general multiplayer modes: deathmatch, team deathmatch etc. Nothing special, but still fun.
The graphics are really good on high in COD2. The smoke is excellent! The chracter modles are great, the textures nice and crisp. Sound is superb as well. You wont need a particually powerful PC to run the game on high either. The graphics are probably slightly better here on max than they are on the 360 version.
Overall every WW2 fan needs this and shooter fans will love it too. Could have been betetr if the multiplayer was improved but oh well. The single-player is very memorable and intense.
Pros:
+Lenghy single-player spanning over 5 campaigns
+Very intense, realistic combat
+Great graphics and amazing sound
+Good, solid multiplayer
Cons:
-Multiplayer could've been a bit better
-AI above average, but not that great
