A Decent Title Until The Wait For Freedom Fighters 2.
Graphically this game isn't completely next as it should more like a last generation high end title. Character models are nothing to brag about and the difference in HD and standard TV aren't all that different.
The single player campaign tosses you about a dozen missions to go through the over the top story of a three man company killing machine who coulda had our boys home for Christmas back in the real WW2. The campaign consists of you buying units, vehicles, emplacements, and heavy support mercenaries style. The game is like one big version of capture the flag or flags I should say since that is all you will be doing on a linear path. The game does a good job making you put up fight to each flag point, but really don't give you too much in the way of a military strategy to take out the enemy. You can tell by the single player presentation that this game is made for a straight out Xbox Live experience.
Multiplayer is where this game truly shines and I will admit is this games strongest point. The strategy in this open and vast maps that give you a bit more of an idea of strategy to hold your enemy back or have to be funneled a certain way and away from your strategic points. Out of the 10 hours of online play I will say that it does hold its own and can be a really fun solid game. If you are looking for a Live game for online play this is a good title.
Overall I will say despite the non-next gen graphics, the linear single player campaign, and the excellent online experience that this title is a good purchase sometime down the line. If you are looking for a mind blowing exp. then this may not be the game for you, but is a worthy budget buy when the price drops. There is a solid title in this franchise somewhere, but just hasn't been found.
