This World War II game with a twist - the Nazis are trying to unearth ancient evil undead forces - provides a superb variety of set pieces, weapons, and gameplay styles. At times it is funny, at other times spooky, and at others still gleefully mischievous. It is not a particularly difficult or long game, yet the multiplayer aspect makes up for the fact that you just want to play it more and more, and eventually you've played through the single-player missions just too many times. Actually, can't say this has happened to me yet, and I'll probably start it over from scratch again tonight. Well, not tonight, because it's Valentine's Day and the girlfriend would have none of that. But tomorrow night! Me, I like sniping, and there's plenty of opportunity for that in this game. If you prefer huge gun battles with enemies coming at you from every angle, well, I suppose you could bring that upon yourself if you really wanted to, by making a big noise about the fact that you were present in enemy territory, but it would never attract the kind of attention it would in a Quake-like game. In other words, the game involves quite a bit of sneaking around and finding the best vantage point or strategy from where to take your shot. But it's not all like that. You can still run in habberdashedly and get yourself killed over and over again if that's more your style.
