A Great Game, Its Worth It
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
I got this game for Christmas Last year, the original was fun and addictive, and this one looked even better. To my delight, it was an amazing game, taking the player through Operation Torch (North Africa), Operation Husky (Sicily and Italy), and Operation Overlord (Invasion of Normandy) all the way to the Sigfried Line, but sadly it ends there. The missing end of the story (Aachen, Remagen, etc.) was a bit dissapointing, but the prequel (Finest Hour) covers that in the American campaign.
A wide range of weapons to use, including American, French, Italian, and German weapons, as well as various turrets and cannons. Makes for some great multiplayer, especially with no one running and gunning with MG42s (which are all stationary in the game) or blasting from across the field with the G43 Sniper (which is no longer a sniper weapon in the game).
Multiplayer is a great improvement from the original, and features 4 gametypes, Capture the Flag, Team Death Match, Death Match, and Domination. Maps also have a variety of locations an match ups, such as Gela, Italy, featuring Americans Vs. Italians, and Cassino, Italy, featuring French Vs. Germans. Another great feature of multiplayer is ranks (Private, Corporal, Sargeant) which enable different class specific weapons and abilities. For example, Snipers at the Corporal rank get the ability to call in air strikes every 10 minutes or so, and Machine Gunners can throw down ammo for himself or others to collect.
All in all, its a great game, and even better if you have XBox Live.
My only problems with it are:
-No Omaha Beach Multiplayer Map
-No Canadians in the game >:(
-Campaign ends after Sigfried Line
But those arent reasons to toss the game aside, its a great game, and even includes some fun facts!
5/5, get it...
