a great play, but certain aspects leave more to be desired

being a wwii shooter fan myself, i had to check this out. while the combination of a tactical shooter with a fps wwii shooter was nice, it could do with a little more integration of the two. controlling the squad in the heat of battle is a mite bit clumsy, but the game is still fun. the graphics are good, but a bit grainy, ,and character models look good. weapons are also good, but the amount of "wavering" when using the ironsights makes them tedious to use, the end result is half a machine gun clip just to the left or right of the target, missing completely. this is definately not a run and gun shooter, because your movement is so slow, that you are almost assured to get killed the moment you charge an enemy. on top of that, there are no health packs so if you take a hit you are stuck with your health for the reat of the level. you will have to use your squads or tank to pin the nazis down while you take another squad around to flank and destroy them, which is cool, but definately not what i am used to. However, inspite of these draw backs, the 20+ levels of this game are still fun to play

if you arent a die hard tactical-wwii shooter fan it is probably just worth a rent
