5 stars (CALL OF DUTY) - All out action holding one's attention and taxing one's skills for hours on end. A powerful adrenaline booster. All out fun and excitement.
5 stars (5 Stars Because I Can't Give It 6!) - Everyone is right--this is MOHAA the correct way. I'm still a big fan of MOH, but this is extremely fun. (Especially the zooming through the french countryside in a "tin can" car. What a hoot!)
In defense of MOH--and although I don't know this to be the case--I would guess that MOH is easier on your system than COD. COD's graphics and sounds are UNEQUALED, so you need a beefy system to get the most out of it. (I'm running a G5 with a hefty video card.)
So, in a nutshell, this game rocks. I was skeptical of the 50 buck pricetag, but as soon as I post this review, I'm headed over to buy the expansion pack.
It's that good.
Trust me.
5 stars (Awesome Mac Game) - This is a superb game. It runs smoothly on my mac (Powerbook G4 867, 640 RAM) most of the time, but I wouldn't recommend it if you have much below that. There's a wide variety of weapons and battle scenarios, and you fight as American and British paratroopers, and as a Russian sniper. They have obviously taken a lot of the battle scenes, landscapes, and plot ideas from Band of Brothers and Enemy at the Gates, which is neat if you've seen those. Unlike a lot of shooters you don't just run around and shoot everything in sight, in fact playing cowboy will just get you killed most of the time. You have to work with your squad to accomplish your objectives, and when someone tells you to cover them you damn well better, otherwise you're going to find yourself exposed and without backup later in the mission. My only complaint is that it is too short, I beat the game within 2 or 3 days. But, it's fun to go back and replay missions, and after you've finished with the original there's still an expansion pack and multi-player mode. If you're looking for a solid, fun, and realistic looking war game this is for you. |
