Bland, Blocky, Linear - Rent; Don't Buy
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I bought this game because the plotline had so much potential. An alternate reality that involves fighting a Nazi invasion in New York City sounded awesome! However, Turning Point was a huge disappointment. The missions are all very linear, so you cannot choose an order in which to do things. Carson goes from point A to point B, bang bang. Now he goes from point B to point C with a different gun, bang bang. It is very robotic and pre-planned. At point C, there is a tank or blimp, bang bang again. Other than token landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, the subways, streets and buildings are generic. The map is not truly patterned after New York, DC, or London streets, and it doesn't matter anyway because there's only one route to pass the level.
The graphics look like they belong on the PS2, not the PS3. Honestly, PS2's Killzone had more interesting graphics and gameplay than this. As far as first person shooters go, the Medal of Honor or Call of Duty franchises are far superior. My advice is to rent it or, better yet, just save your money for Call of Duty 4.
