90Unquestionably a triumph, marking a great improvement over the last game... It relies on gameplay rather than on cutscenes and ephemera, and the variety and suspense of individual battles combined with the simple but effective campaign system mean that it will stay on a good many hard disks for a long time to come.
-
90Effective integration of the psychological aspects of war and first-rate gameplay customization.
-
90It's not a huge improvement over the last in the series, but then the series doesn't need much improving to begin with.
-
86Overall I found Close Combat: Normandy Invasion a breath of fresh air in a genre where emphasis is often placed on the "amass and swarm" strategies, or resource attrition.
-
85While this latest chapter in the acclaimed series doesn't offer much in the innovation department, it's a quality product, a lot of fun to play and has obvious replayability value.
-
82It's not a huge stride forward but it's still an excellent addition to any wargamer's library.
-
Anyone with the slightest interest in historical-strategy gaming will love this title.
-
80This new release is not to be overlooked as an excellent continuation of a classic and fun series.
-
80Combines solid graphics and exceptional sounds into a top-notch war gaming experience.
-
The AI has always been one of the weakest elements in this series but this time around it has been tweaked a bit and these soldiers will now perform a little more realistically.
-
Luckily, it doesn't sacrifice gameplay for the sake of simplicity.
-
72For those who haven't yet played a Close Combat game, or for veterans looking for new maps and scenarios for this outstanding series, then Close Combat: Invasion Normandy provides plenty of new challenges.
-
70A solid game that feels like an add-on. This series needs a 3D overhaul. [Jan 2001, p.157]
-
The visual, aural, and control limitations of the original are becoming more and more obvious as the series continues.
-
More of an incremental advance over its predecessors than anything really new, but it incorporates the best features of the other games and plenty of customer input into what may be the best game in the series.
-
67Does a very good job accurately portraying a wartime environment even with the poor visual presentation, but much like the previous outings, it isn't for everyone.
-
Even though very customizable, Close Combat: Invasion Normandy's gameplay can get very repetitive after repeated play.
