Its true. It ain't exactly Call of Duty, but its still a gem, if not slightly rough around the edges.The backbone of COD

First of all lets get this straight: If you have never played COD or any of it's sequels, then PLAY THIS FIRST! At first, if you have played Activision's hit WWII shooter, you will realize that the graphics aren't as good, or the mission objectives aren't clear, or you you don't know where the HECK to go, but, after a few levels, or at least until the Omaha Beach level, you will probably appreciate the good solid meat inside this slightly overdone cheeseburger. Some things:

Bodies, after being shot will fall in unnatural areas, heads disappearing in walls/doors,floating 3 feet above the ground if you kill them on stairs, and the two items dropped by the German rogues, helmets and weapons, will constantly end up floating and circling around strangely. Sometimes, if you are running around near or against a wall, you will "float" (anyone know the technical term for this), unable to control directly where you are going.

The reason why this is "revolutionary": The makers of this game, those many developers, well, at least most of them, created this game, then moved on to Activision to create Call of Duty. Sure, its not as good as COD, but you can see what the developers were thinking when the made COD. "Lets use MOH:AA as a backbone, but make this game: BETTER!

Last Notes: Multiplayer bites, but the SP stealth missions ROCK!
