A Lot of Promise, destroyed by glitches
On the surface it's a game with a lot of promise. Set in an alternate timeline where Winstan Churchill was killed by a taxi cab in New York in 1931, paving the way for the Thrid Reich to spread unchecked across Europe. In 1953, the Alternate Second World War adds a new front to the mix, when Nazi forces begin landing all along the Eastern Seaboard. Over all the levels, and graphics are fairly well done, and there is a wide variety of weapons and vehicles, some of which were actually on the drawing boards during the Second World War, and there are actually levels that take place outside of America, including an alternate verson of what Britian could have been had Operation: Sealion been a success.
However, no game is perfect, and Turning Point is far from perfect. The plot of the game, is essentually Red Dawn and Freedom Fighters, just with Nazis, with player taking on the role of an average joe turned Resistance fighter. Over all the graphics are excellent, however they also are the game's fatal flaw. The Graphics Engine of Turning Point is full of glitches, that often slows non-playable characters down to a crawl, taking away much of the challenge from the game. Another problem is the load time, which takes forever, and has to occur way too often.
While this game will no doubt appeal to fans of Alternate History and World War II games, and will impress with it's gameplay. However the glitches with the game's graphics and long load times will no doubt alienate many gamers. Over all is is the kind of game that should be rented first before deciding to buy it.
