    It makes a welcome change from all the overcooked WWII games that just won't stop coming out of the factories, although disappointingly enough, I didn't catch a single whiff of Napalm. Probably not a good idea in the city. Probably.

    The game play is intense and challenging but is let down by the game engine. It would take a beast of a PC to play with the settings it deserves but most people may find the games engine and difficulty only leads to frustration.

    Considering just how much the FPS genre has progressed, specifically the squad-commanding, war-themed FPS sub-genre, it's really not worth your time unless you're particularly fanatical about the original. [PC Zone]

    Disappointing, hard, slows even on a top spec pc, graphics not great. Loved the 1st version - much better than htis and by now far cheaper. Wait another 6 months and pick this up from ther bargain bin.… Expand
