if you like realism, this game is for you.
at first, you wont know what is going on. maps are huge, armies are big and you wont really be involved in anything until you learn all the options.
i almost gave up on this game after an hour... but still gave it a chance and didnt left disapointed.
sudden strike brings all the realism you could handle.
ok, maybe the game doesnt have great or even avarage multiplayer game, and the controls are a little off line, and not enough description of the units (i sill hate t he part when you cant tell the difference between the soldiers... they are way to small nad very dificult to control) but all this can be fixed by the developer, or if you play long enough you will get over it. i keep hearing that this game sucks couse it doesnt have a good multiplayer. who cares about multiplayer? i wanna play the game, hopfully finish it, and go.....
when i look at reviews of sudden strike 1&2, i cant beleave how low the scores were. that game brought so many ideas to the table. for example, we all liked company of heroes.lots of things in the game were tried first in sudden strike. i loved the idea you could pick up enemies weapons, hide in buildings, run low on ammo and etc...
same with this one. it should have gotten a higher score for sure. thats it.
i give it an 8 plus. it has a great new tough to the rpg genre. good replay value, amazing battle fields, and i bought it for less money than i bought all my other games. so give it a try.
