Here is my review of this awful dissapointing game. The gameplay-- First of all, I am very disappointed that they decided to remake the engine so to speak. By this, I am talking about how each gun looks and how it can be fired. The semi-automatic guns can be fired at a maximum rate set by the game. For example, I can press the R trigger very fast and fire the Colt pistol as fast as I can push the button. However, the game only allows for the pistol to be fired at a set rate, making every other one of my hits on the R trigger fire the gun. As far as realism goes, this game is a joke. I was bothered in Frontline that I couldn't kill my own men, but that wasn't really a big deal considering I only shoot at them when I'm messing around. Also, in Frontline, my men were easily killed by enemy melee attacks or fire. In this game, my fellow soldiers are Immortal weapons of warfare. Bayonet stabs, tank shells, and enemy fire aren't enough to even knock my allies down. This is ridiculous and only serves to draw away from the games realism making me feel as if it is just a lame simulation. Another thing that I didn't like was the fact that there is no blood at all in the game. I don't care about EA wanted people to distinguish between shooting CG people and real people. If you can't make that distinction on your own, then you shouldn't be playing the game. If you want to put someone in a realistic war setting, there needs to be blood. When someone is hit, it looks as if they were hit with a tranquilizer dart rather than a BULLET! Yet another thing that draws away from the realism is the historically inaccurate bugs. The Thompson SMG held 30 rounds, not 20. One more thing that bothers me is that neither your allies (the ones who are immortal) or you are ever wearing helmets. The graphics-- Frontline had terrific graphics. MOH and MOH Underground had great graphics for a 32 bit system. This games graphics are... well, bad. You are kidding yourself if you think that the jungle environments look real. Yes, the Pearl Harbor sequence looks great, but some of these jungles just look terrible. There are a lot of 2D grass and trees. The jungle level on Goldeneye for N64 looked better than some of the jungles on this. What happened to the graphics, what a big dissapointment LEAVE THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
