  1. One of the best values you'll ever find in a $10 add-on. [Feb 2005, p.72]
  2. A good expansion to the original game. It's true that the new missions feel like ones you've already played before, and it's also true that major micromanagement and AI problems--again--rear their ugly heads.
  3. A well-timed cue to buy the original game, but not worth buying by itself. [Dec 2004, p.101]
  4. The game does have a multiplayer mode, but no one on the Internet is playing it. When you refresh the server list, you get nothing.

    I gave it a 10, because it's still the best WW2 game out there by a mile.

    The squad mate AI is still a bit wonky and the co-op multiplay doesn't let you go back to the original H&D 2 maps, but it's still the best WWII shooter out there. Makes Call of Duty look like the pathetic scripted rail shooter that it is. Expand
