Strengths: WW2 Scenario, Various Play Roles

Weaknesses: Old Days Graphic, Bad Game Play Calculation, Stupid AI

Summary: I know this is not fair playing this game after COD4. So, before I started this game, I already lower down my expectation so I won't complain about the graphic at least. If you like WW2 game, it might give you certain satisfaction. If you like something new together with first person shooting, this game offers driving, rafting, placing bomb and "fighting" enemy at some points. The most disappointment is the game play calculation. Several time when I was shooting, my teammates "overlapping" on me by standing on air or on top of my gun. This was not only unpleasant graphic but indeed caused me killed by my enemy. How could you shoot with a "ghost" blocking your sight. Also, the stupid AI really upset me. The teammate didn't help me was ok. But they would take my hiding place. For example, when I faced enemies, my teammates won't help at all by just standing around. Ok, let me do the job then. So I got to the closest wall and started shooting. When I shot, I of course came out from the wall and went back after shooting. Guess what? My friendly AI teammate took my spot so of course I was being shot to death then. Because of the two bugs above , I swore almost all the time during the game play. I will never recommend this game to anyone.

Strengths: Excellent graphics and sound.

Weaknesses: Excessive use of Sixaxis gets tiresome and repetitive.

Summary: The graphics are great if you have a HDTV AND a digital connection. Good game overall, the single player missions are a little run-of-the-mill, nothing new or real exciting. The controller also adds to the sense of immersion. When you want to whap someone in the head with your gun, you just give the controller a sharp twist. You also use the controller for other steering-related tasks as well.How about the sound? Playing the Call of Duty series always gives me a headache after a while :) But that's the point - war wasn't fun. It's not about cool pop soundtracks while you blow away the enemies. It's about listening carefully for footsteps in the silence, and then having your eardrums shatter when the barrage rains down on you.

Strengths: Beat all the levels in easy & normal modes!

Weaknesses: Too many enemies shooting at you without the rumble.

Summary: I love this game and the storyline is quite beautiful! I played COD 1&2 before and now I'm waiting for COD 4 to come out. I can't wait to play in real-time with DualShock 3 support!
