Story:
Play as a Russian, British, or American soldier. In exotic locations as cold ass Russia, hot ass Africa, and well blown to hell Europe. Not much story, just follow your superiors and complete objectives. You basically relive famous battles such as D-Day and Battle of the Rhine. Nothing new here.
7/10
Graphics:
Dark, dirty, and damp. Just like a war game should be. The graphics are superb, nearly live like. The faces on the characters could be better, but none the less amazing.
9/10
Sound:
Another great thing about this game it it's sounds. I wouldn't be surprised if they recorded real weapons for the guns and you can hear the whistle of artillery as it comes.
8/10
Controls:
Basic...just like nearly any other game. Nothing revolutionary here, although there is a jump button.
7/10
Gameplay:
Not to fast, not to slow, just right. This game feels perfect for a war game. Assault, defend, advance, retreat, it has it all. This game gives you a good feel for nearly every aspect of war, you even command a tank and some air strikes in a couple of mission. Although I would have liked to fly a plane, you can't have everything.
10/10
Multiplayer:
Horrible. Not the gameplay itself, but the setup of the online system. You join a server and the first one to join that server is host, no matter how bad their connection is. Because of the host thing, nearly half the games are laggy. You can't make even make your own games, and once a game ends you have to go join another server.
5/10
Replay:
The hardest difficulty, veteran, takes awhile to master. Besides that there isn't much replay unless you mind reliving the same missions over and over. The multiplayer is pretty much useless until they fix the mess that it is.
6/10
Overall:
All in all it's a good buy. If you aren't really into the whole war theme you should at least rent it, but if your a war enthusiast then defiantly buy it.
