Gamespot gives it a 9.0, but Gamespot can kiss my ass. The game was the most boring shooter I've played.
So, here's my review.
The Good:
You can order your squad to move to a specific location, follow you, and lay down suppressing fire. They are smart enough to take cover when shot at.
Fire suppression: all enemies can now be suppressed, making them sit whimpering behind cover.
The graphics are officially kickass.
The Bad:
The game is so frigging linear. You can't jump over a fence if the game doesn't want you too. You can't break a fucking window to get at the enemy! You can't open a door. You can't do SHIT.
The firefights with the enemies consist of the same routine over and over again: order your squad to lay down suppressing fire, flank the enemy, kill them. I have just described every encounter with the Germans in the first 5 levels.
Speaking of linearity, the enemies sometimes spawn right before your eyes. I have crossesd the street, killed some germans shooting at my team, and guess what, a kraut heavy machinegun just appeared on the street I just crossed the second I killed the krauts. BLEARGH
I have quit the game in disgust.Speaking of disgust, THE BODIES DISAPPEAR. That's right folks, the bodies disappear after a minute or so.
The team is useless. You still have to kill 90% of the enemies on your own.
The "personalized" stuff consist of a brief monologue about some character before the chapter starts. BO-RING.
Oh, btw, you can't save the game unless at a checkpoint.
There is just one moment in the game that I truly enjoyed, and that is when I shot up a roomful of Germans:
But that's the only exciting thing that happened in 5 levels of the game. Kind of tells you how interesting that game is.
Oh, btw, you cannot move those chairs. How's that?
Have a very nice day.
