One word - Wow. Great game - probably the most intense game I have ever played. And you know what does it? The SOUND. My God, play this with some headphones, and you really feel what fighting in WWII was really like. Noise everywhere, men yelling, screaming, bullets flying. And the missions seem realistic, too, as do the locations. The level that starts with the boat moving in to Stalingrad is probably the most intense level I have ever played. Absolutely fantastic. Graphics are great, too, I thought - captured the smoke and fire in the cities very well. The game is a bit short, but I did appreciate seeing the war from different perspectives - we need more games that explore the Soviet side, particularly Stalingrad. They suffered huge losses and such battles would be amazing to see in a game. Let me tell you, when you're storming a building and that music swells in the background, you feel like you're in the middle not of a video game, but a movie like Saving Private Ryan. Kudos to the designers of this one. They really got it right.
