The graphics are pretty good but game play is a joke. I actually returned this game to BestBuy because it was so bad.

I am a big history fan and watch the History Channel when I am not playing Xbox 360. I was really hoping for a Call of Duty quality game. The single shot then reload has a nice feel to it when you blow the guy away with a single shot in Call of Duty. But almost every weapon in this game is single shot with a reload,. Some weapons you are reloading long than firing. Secondly when you shoot anyone they all fall down in the same way and they just stand there. Dumb and boring. I really felt bad when first started playing as I thought to myself "Certainly they invested millions of dollars into this product what the hell were they thinking..."

The experience was so poor I actually took the game back to Best Buy and demanded an exchange. They didn't like doing it but at least they have the customer in mind. The designers of this game didn't.

I wouldn't even rent this game for free on GameFly. Don't waste you time. History Channel you should know better. Please learn from this mistake.
