Worst Call of Duty i've ever play...
I'm not ashamed to be a Call of Duty fanboy (i would like to say every call of duty game is amazing) but, this game really disappointing. It's too easy, flaws come at everywhere, not-seriously made and, it lost the intensity of WWII battle.
The story, Final Fronts have different campaign with the PC, PS3, and XBOX 360 version. it still follow the story of ally forces in Pacific and European war though (it even have the same characters from world at war such as Sgt. Roebuck and Polonsky). The game doesn't tell us (at least me) the story quite well, thanks to the absent of subtitle both in-game and the pre-rendered video. The plain and bad voice acting making the story even more irritating to follow (sorry, no Kiefer Sutherland or Gary Oldman on this game). No war drama or what soever that making us attach to the characters of the game.
The gameplay, Final Fronts's gameplay is exactly the same with Call of Duty World at War, The control layout is exactly the same, the HUD layout is exactly the same. The problem is, the AI is not challenging. CoD may not have the best AI, but Final Fronts definitely have the worst AI (compared to any CoD games). Even on hardened, the AI will simply standing waiting to be shot, I have an experience where a German soldier standing in front of me and do nothing. Contra with that, the grenade is absolutely powerful, no matter where you stand, as long as you can see the grenade indicator (even the fading, thin one) you will be dead instantly. The mission is not engaging too. It's simply go to this point and defend that point, it's a little bit repetitive (not that i don't like repetition but, the whole objective on each mission is always the same).
The graphics, the only thing that shine on this game. Final Fronts have bright and smooth graphics although sometimes, low frame rate can occur in almost irritating level. there are some flaws, glitches, and bugs like flying weapon or rising-from-the-dead-enemy. The characters movement is far from fluid, no facial animation whatsoever. Absolutely disappointing.
The sound, Final Fronts have a bad sound, average gunshots, average explosive and chatter sound. The intensity of war is gone with the wind. Even the scores are stripped version of the scores on WaW.
Soo...i know it's a stripped version of Call of Duty World at War on PC, PS3, and XBOX 360. I know PS2 have limitation, but...PS2 doesn't deserve this, just look at Call of Duty 3 and see how wonderful that game is. I don't recommend it
