If you are in to WWII historic shooters, this migth be it. But not to much action in this one.
________ ________ - ________ ________ - ________ _______
Althru im not that big a fan of historic shooters I thought I might give a go with this game, and I was mostly lured by the nice footage available on the game.
As the story goes on it's about soldiers fighting in a distant country against German military, we all know how this war was, but this is the soldiers story and their living with the war itself.
You play as a squad leader, and the story fills in all the gaps, telling a story more involved by the more you play, ingame there are no story, feels just like capture the flag or killing spree but the story is explict by the cut-scenes. If this is a bad or good thing i leave for you to decide.
Gameplay.
________ _______ - _______ ______ - ________ _______
Gameplay in this game is easy, just one button to select diffrent groups(basooka or assult teams) and a second button to assign the teams. Some older games use 5-10 diffrent buttons to do the same as theese two do just fine.
As for your self you need to think in a taktical way or else you and your squad will die quite quick, take diffrent aproch to diffrent tasks. Taking cover and use the basooka team on one of germans shelters is a good exsample.
The weponery isn't anythig thrilling, your teams have the MG and the basooka, you don't need thoose, better to have a riffle and go the taktical route than blasting you way tru alone.
You use all the normal FPS movement, but the running is a little akward i don't know but im not a fan of this way to move in this game.
Performance in visual and sound.
______ _________ - ________ _______ - ________ ________
The performance of this game is not bad, but just as many other games today there aren't to may visual settings to play with in the settings. This is not a great idea, I would like to change evry parameter and take full control over that, but I am happy to just go all with the highest settings also.
The game looks quite nice and have many nice features, but the textures could have been more realistic, bumping the settings and forcing AA dont help on that things.
As for sound in this game is good but sometimes I felt the actors reading the text and not acting like a good game should have in the monolouge, this migth have gotten the game to a higher level.
Summary!
______ _______ - _______ ______ - ______ _______
This game is a nice game, and i like the way to route the teams but im more into blasting and action, this game is in a way a little more realistic than that, you search for cover then you assign your teams and do tactical warfare.
The AI in this game isn't anythig good, they sit in their cover and wait for you to come shoot them, and their actions seems pre-decided, gamedevelopers have put enemy in searain plazes where you have trubble to get them but still they sit so you can run 1m in front of them and shoot them in the head.
There arent to much action in this game, if you wait they don't re-route or find a better way to supress you, this is mainly the AI's fault.
But overall the game is very playable, and it's a nice looking game with some interesting story going on.
I'll give it 7/10 a good game!
