As much as the gamespot guys hate it I think it's worth a try.
One great thing about this game that nobody talks about is the story. The game tells information about WW2 very well, with realistic sound characters and true events wrapped into a game.
The scenery characters and everything else drawn in this game has been done with extreme skill and concentration .
One thing I dislike about this game is that although the levels are very fun to play through they don't add up to make a decently long game, but there is definetly replay value. I think the length should be what gets fixed first in future Call of Duty games.
I reccomend this game to both hardcore fans of shooters and people just starting their PS2 shooter games career.
