I really loved everything about this game. The interface to control your troops is bulky and confusing at first and the game has an extreme learning curve, but it is well worth the time to learn. Despite what anyone says bad about this game I feel it is one of the best WW II games by far. They mixed a RPG with a FPS. You can change from 1st or 3rd person views. There are some minor bugs in the game, but they are easy to overlook for what you are getting. There is no other game on the market today that comes close to giving you what this one does. In this game you can pick from multiple character with different abilities. Each separate campaign you can choose different soldiers based on what the mission calls for. However it's best to start out with a well balanced team and keep them for the whole game. In order to keep them they must stay alive. Each mission you go on you abilities go up and you gain rank. So keeping the same team members means your men are higher ranking and have more skills then the other ones that you can choose from. You also get to choose your weapons for each member of your squad. Based on there strength they can carry more equipment. As the game progresses your character and team gets stronger and can carry more equipment. There was only one time while playing the game I switched out a team mate and that was for a stealth only mission. The missions are incredible and very well drawn out. It is a very realistic game. You fight in many different theatres of war. The graphics are incredible and so is the game play. I do not recommend this game for younger games however, because the interface will be to difficult and they will loose interest quickly. I almost gave up on it in the beginning. Now it is one of my favorite games of all time. The patch resolves the problems with the game crashing. I never had it crash once on my system. So in my opinion it is very stable. You have full control of your team. You can tell the team to go stealth, fire at will, wait for your lead and so on. This is a very difficult game and requires strategy along with skill. If you don't choose the correct men and equipment the game will be unbeatable. You are able to use vehicles in some missions even. The graphics are incredible showing footsteps and it has some very unique levels never done before. There are other options to play the game "lonewolf" without other team members. My favorite thing about it is watching your team gain rank and skills as you progress. As I stated before this is a game for a more mature player that is willing to spend the time to understand how to use the interface. I feel the complexity of the interface makes the game better and give you much more options then any of the new style interfaces. You can give up easily or you will hate this game. It took me two hours to get trough boot camp.
