The best Xbox 360 Launch game; WARNING: the single player will leave you breathless.
The gameplay in the game is very realistic if you play on the difficulty, "Veteran." The single player plays around about 24 different levels from three different campaigns. You first start off in training in Stalingrad in Russia while playing as a Russian Soldier, you fight through the ruin city and kick German ass. After you complete the Russian Campaign, you move on to the British and then yo move on to the American, which is the best out of all three.
So the single player part is just amazing. You will never let down your controller. All the weapons in the game fire and sound like their real world weapons. The british single player takes you through Africa and Normandy. And the American single player takes you from the beaches of France to French towns, and to Germany which is the most fun out of all the campaigns.
The multiplayer is what keeps you playing for ages. First, when the game came out, the multiplayer was plague with lag and disruptive playing but it has now been fixed with a patch. Also, when the game first game out, the lobby system really was terrible but that been fixed too. You can create your own match and let players join. Or you can join a ranked match and play some hardcore multiplayer.
You can play up to eight people in multiplayer and play system link too. The only bad thing about the multiplayer is the eight player total part, it should have been increased tp sixteen or twenty-four. Also, another let down is that you cannot play co-op at all, a dissapointment but it doesn't bring down the game's replay value which is all the way up there.
Second of all, the sound; the sound in this game is the best out of any World War 2 shooter/game out there. From the weapons to the characters, the sound is superb. Some aspects of the sound can be misleading though, because when you are playing in the Russian campaign, the Russians speak English instead of Russia, yet, they still have the Russian accents. The British and American voice actors did very well, the voice acting was superb. When you play throughout the game, you will be able to use a wide variety of weapons, and each of the weapons sound and feel different.
Overall, a great game and it deserves a place in your collection.
It is definately a buy for people who love FPS.
