68This is a game for rent without a shadow of a doubt. The shortness and the general issues with it mean I can't really recommend anything else.
-
A great premise poorly executed. We'd hoped for better, and this fails to deliver. [May 2008, p.68]
-
The glitches and poor level design don't quite ruin a game that should have been so much more than the sum of its parts. Still, there's some fun to be had here with a weekend rental.
-
56Overall, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is game which had some fantastic ideas and concepts. Unfortunately, the great ideas did not transform into a solid shooter.
-
Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is an excellent game idea that doesn't live up to its potential. Turning Point is filled with dull missions, simplistic artificial intelligence, dated graphics, and a whole pile of over used mojo.
-
52After playing through just a bit of Turning Point, we were completely disappointed. The old feeling to it completely ruined the original concept.
-
50Turning Point's minimalist approach to everything - from its stale levels and sticky controls to its thin plot and absent character development - killed what could've been a really unique and engaging shooter and will disappoint hardcore fans of the genre across the board.
-
50Shooting Nazis in the streets of three major U.S. cities should be a non-stop thrill ride that has me on the edge of my seat. This game provides the opposite experience.
-
Turning Point's theme of an alternate reality had some possibilities, but even within this fiction you just end up doing uninspired and overworked shootouts. [Apr 2008, p.63]
-
The story is there but the execution of the game is a severe let down, Turning Point Fall of Liberty could have been a great game but with so many other FPS games setting such high standards it is left behind.
-
45This alternate-history shooter is proof that an interesting premise can't compensate for boring and broken gameplay.
-
The gameplay, graphics and multiplayer were all substandard, given today's expectations.
-
45Our worries have been confirmed, and Turning Point turns out as a mediocre FPS, with a lot of problems that shouldn't appear on a so called next-gen game.
-
Although Turning Point had an interesting storyline, it still ends up being an incredibly limited and generic WWII shooter.
-
42A good story made into a terrible game.
-
40Poor gameplay, substandard graphics and a lack of vision severely limit its appeal to shooter fans. [Issue#165, p.86]
-
No, Turning Point has the overall feel of another bad WWII shooter with a fresh--albeit fascinating--coat of paint. Our advice? Turn away. [May 2008, p.86]
-
Dumb AI, stupidly linear, crap guns... a disaster. [May 2008, p.79]
-
33The opening sequence is one of the most memorable in recent memory but it is almost as if the developers spent all of their creative energy on it leaving the rest of the game to degenerate into a bland, plot-less mess.
-
Why would you play this when you have the Olympics of shooters on hand in "Call of Duty"? [May 2008, p.103]
-
Aiming is askew; enemies are dumb and the level design is bland.
-
30It feels a little wrong to be so down on a game that seemed genuinely interesting when it was first announced, but Turning Point is so devoid of the qualities needed in a modern FPS that it's impossible to sugar coat. It's just a very bad game, plain and simple.
-
30A blown opportunity.
-
The guns are useless. [May 2008, p.112]
-
With the number of average-to-outstanding FPS titles available on next-gen consoles, there's absolutely no reason to waste your time with this disaster.
-
30It also runs poorly, replete with graphical glitches and technical hiccups that make the game feel shoddy and unfinished. At a moment when so many excellent shooters are on the market and thriving in the multiplayer scene, there's very little incentive to endure something like this.
-
20Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is garbage. The game sounds terrible, looks terrible and plays terrible. Everyone who dares playing this mess, must either have a wall in front of his eyes or is being brainwashed by the propagandamachine. Even if you get the game for free in the local supermarket, you are not allowed to accept it. Too bad, because the storyline offers enough opportunity for a good game.
-
20The game tells its story horribly, your character is both improbable and without any personality, the AI is terrible, the gameplay lackluster, and graphics middling. Even as a budget title, which Turning Point is certainly doomed to become, the game is hardly worth the bother.
