Glossy (yet close-ended) addition to the TPS genre.

I was so very excited for the release of this game. I have played the franchise on other platforms. And knowing what the Nintendo DS is 'capable' of doing, i had a feeling that Ubisoft/Gearbox wouldn't let me down.

Well, maybe I wanted too much from this game.

The graphics are very impressive and the layout is well done. A nice addition of historical quotes and segue music. The missions are not a vast array, but there is enough here to keep you going. You play several campaigns all over the WW2 historical map, much like the other games of this series. The missions themselves are limited in where you can go, how long you have to do the level tasks and choice of weapons. The levels closer to the end of each mission can be punishing and you'll have to go through them a couple of times if you don't catch on to what is preventing your success. The stylus targeting can get annoying when not very accurate. The enemy AI is only very smart when they are set out to up-end a particular element to a mission (like tank killing Nazi infantry).

I was hoping for a bit more range of area to roam. Nope.
I was hoping for more weapons in the early on. Not really; weapons appear to assist with whatever exact task you need to perform. Then, they disappear at the start of the next level.

But the missions look great and the feel is very "go, go, go" real war pace.

I'm sure fans of the series will love this game. And i hope it grows on me.
