Had potential, but missed

By bigjames11 | Review Date:
To be fair this game turned out to be a little bit different than most other WWII shooters. Its uses an excellent reward system for different types of killing including headshots and melee knife kills. Unfortunately this was just about the only positive thing the gameplay had going for it. More of the same weapons and a sometimes infinite number of bad guys turns into a repetitious shooting experience. The shield was a nice touch, however it is mostly unnecessary for the better part of the game.

The thing that made this game worth sticking to were the visuals. I did not have high expectations for it to start however I was pleasantly surprised to find the levels large and well put together. The graphics turned out to be a large reason for the game being worth while. As good as they were however, they could not overshadow the worthless voice acting. Its possible that these people had no previous training whatsoever. The movie clips became hard to watch because of the horrible voices and instead of trying to cover it up, it was like they put more in whenever possible.

All in all this game has some playability but just didn't deliver like it could have. AI was questionable, amazing at some parts, incompetent as others. With the same graphics and some better weapons and gameplay put to work this could be a solid buy. However at $30.00 it still may be a bargain for some.

    This game is actually much better than Gamespot's review, based on my opinion. True, it has some major problems as mentioned, such as the long loading time and the multiplayer part. However, assuming that u are mostly in... Read Full Review
