I bought this game full price and have to say i was disapointed. While the visuals certainly impress when compared to some of the DS offerrings, the games very short length and lack of any substance leave you feeling short changed. I completed the game on normal difficulty in 2 hours, this game is aimed at people 16 and over, they WILL breeze through this game.(completed all difficulties under 10 hours) To the games credit the Touch screen controls are fun and work well. there are a few occasions when your scope isn't in the right place or the aiming is a little stiff but these aren't too marring to the experience. The AI of the enemies is very poor and you generally die due to germans firing through crates, grenades, tanks or just not fulfillign an objective in time. This overall makes it seem like the balance is just wrong, anyone who really enjoys refinement in their games won't get much from this.
technical difficulties aside(the camera and Z-buffer bug is just loltastic) the game is a good attempt at bringing the above average Xbox series to the DS, while amny will say-oh the DS should not be able to cope with it, i would certainly disagree, even Mario 64DS is better looking and shifts more polygons and effects. This is a good attempt and shows the potential that the DS can have, now developers just need to put in some more time, money and effort into their porting projects and they WILL get a HIT out of the DS that will impress every gamer(looks like Ninja Gaiden might be the game to do it *crossess fingers*).
