This game is an example of a half baked all hype no substance game. A great story was ruined by horrible gameplay.
The attacks of the Nazis becomes really old quick, the Ai is horrible the enemy just runs at you in waves, which seems very unrealistic. You basically run from one burning building to the next, in between their are pre-set engagement points that usually have a barricade and a mounted gun. The enemy is dropped in waves and you just mow them down, once they stop you move on... repeat.
The whole game is garbage right from the beginning. It all feels half-done from the moment the Nazis attack the skyscrape youre on it just feels empty and the people up on the skyscraper dont even feel like people theyre just standing there or doing the same animation over and over as the building falls apart and since the game physics and level design wasnt done well it would have been impossible for you to actually run on a small beam and jump to save yourself, you'd constantly be falling off so they just made it impossible to fall off.
The worst part is the developers including this Dean Martinetti guy hyped this game so much, they focused on the weirdest things. They spent a lot of hours modeling the white house making every room the same as it would appear in the actual white house. They bought a whole safe worths of old WW2 era guns and kept them at the studio so they could as accurately as possible model the guns. All i have to say to this is: First the level of gun detail and realism in the game is not there at all they couldve gotten this level from just googling each gun for pictures and sounds. Secondly the white house thing, thats just a nice after touch to a good game you dont spend resources making the white house accurate when teh game itself is horrible!
Another thing is this game runs on the Unreal Engine 3, i really couldnt believe this when i read it because it makes the UE3 engine look like the UE2 engine! Another game came out using the UE3 engine the same day as Turning Point, this is Frontlines its an FPS but a primarily multiplayer FPS but the graphics blow this game away! The facial animations look real, all the vehicles the levels look great.
I cant even go into everything that makes this game horrible, please do your research. Also they released a Demo before the game came out when people said the demo was horrible for much the same reasons im saying the game is bad the developers claimed it was just an alpha build and most of the problems were addressed but they werent.
This game shouldve been released around 2-3 years ago it wouldve been better accepted then but weve come to expect AND WE SHOULD more of games now. You should not try to lower the bar that FPS games that came out a year ago set.
