Killing Nazis is fun! Even if you need to be trigger happy to do so.
Personally I felt that the difficulty was just about right but certain achievements (such as protecting the bunker) was proving to be quite difficult. But overall, in the game itself, I found about the right amount of challenge and unlike some games the difficulty seemed to escalate appropriately as the game progressed.
The first of a few complaints which seems to be noticed by everyone was the accuracy of weapons. I would zoom in and I am definitely aiming at them and should hit them with no obstacles in the way. Yet I could hold onto the trigger for a minute straight and that one solitary soldier is still standing and someone picking off the other four in my squad one-by-one. But I got enough out of the gameplay to overlook that despite getting a little agitated here and there. And the other primary concern is the lack of splash damage. I've hit to Nazi soldiers while I was in a tank and the shell would send them flying only to have them get back up. I would hit them again with the same result. A few shells did little more than to soften them up for the tank's machine gun. That is...if aiming at the enemy soldiers and firing right at them actually killed them. And lastly driving vehicles could be a royal pain. The camera would zoom in to the point where you can no longer see the vehicle (this is mostly with tanks and the Calliope) and while you are still pushing the joystick to go straight..you end up going up the side of a mountain on an angle.
I enjoy the fact that it is a shooter game but there's also strategy in where, which and how many emplacements to put down...if any. Some tactics such as placing a machine gun nest next to an anti-armor can help both of them survive. The Anti-armor can help try to blow up enemy vehicles which would attempt to run over and destroy gun nests and the machine gunner can help destroy enemy infantry that would try to overpower the soldier manning the anti-armor cannon since he cannot hit multiple targets...especially ones that are spread out.
The game had some wit and humor which I found amusing. I enjoyed most of the maps and I thought most of the graphics were quite decent.
I selected the "pick it up in your bargain bin" option as I bought the game used for only $10 at Blockbuster Video and honestly, I feel that I got way more than what I would consider to be $10 worth of entertainment out of it. I can't rate the multi-player yet but it looks as if some other gamers will start picking up the MP with me which of course is helpful if one is every going to earn the MP achievements for the game. But I feel that this game was definitely worth every penny that I put into it and honestly, I'd have been satisfied with having paid more if I hadn't found it there for that price.
