This game is simply a diaster.

You will play the opening scene and then you will ask yourself? Why?

Absolutely everything in this game falls short of anyone's expectations. Besides the relatively interesting premise presented in about the first 5 seconds, everything is either boring, stupid, pointless, or just flat out bad. The opening scene will demonstrate everything bad about this game pretty quickly.

The graphics are horrendous. On many occasions it seems like there was supposed to be some darkness or shadow effects, I couldnt tell but it was sometimes nearly impossible to see anybody when you were suppose to. The character models are all bad. Especially those of the nazis, who often wore bright orange ski goggles. They probably saw some snow no one else did? When you killed these stupid looking enemies the same death would occur every single time. This makes it hard to tell if there were death animations or if there was supposed to be ragdoll effects. Either way these animations were a failure. The enemies would fall backwards while their knees buckled forwards, their arms would extend from their sides at a 45 degree angle and they would die...

There is also nothing interesting about the gameplay, though there is a grappling mechanic that is actually fun, for the first level. You can sprint up to your enemies and grab them then from there you can either perform an instant kill, turn them into a human shield and extremely rarely an environmental kill (you can count the number of these on two hands). But other than this your stuck shooting your toyish sounding, awkward feeling guns. None of them feel powerful, not even your explosives and none feel accurate.

But probably the two stupidest most frustrating parts of the game are how the storyline progresses and the fact that the last few levels were beyond frustrating. The spaces inbetween checkpoints were far too large, and even on normal you could die in less than 2 seconds towards the end of the game. I remember one stupid part where you were on a bridge trying to board the Zepplin blimp but guys would seemingly spawn just of range of your vision. Then would when you finally make it past the bridges halfway point there would be zero cover and guys would come from infront of you as well as two random spawners behind you. Basically an automatic death unless you can manage to get a human shield somewhere. The blimp level... dont even ask. The stupidest thing in the game is the lack of any real storyprogression. I mean there are crappy cut scenes here and there but sometimes youll just be somewhere without knowing how you got there. You also play a contruction worker.....taking down hundres of trained nazi soliders. Yes lets put the fate of America in the hands of a contruction worker.

This game is bad on all levels, and I didnt even mention the horrid music and probably the worst online multiplayer I have ever seen Just if you can avoid it, which you should be able to do, please do so.
