I truly believe that, had they given the development at least another few months to beef up the visuals and sounds and maybe even add a bit to the campaign itself, this could have been a great game, possibly making a few top 10 lists along the way.
Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is a fantastic concept that would make a great movie but doesn’t really evolve into much of a game mostly due to last-gen graphics and uninspired gameplay.

Now that the Xbox 360 is an old system with the Xbox One out, I thought I'd give a few games that weren't very well received a chance. Among those games was Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, which is honestly a pleasant surprise for me. While I only paid $0.99 for this game at Gamestop, I would've happily paid a little more. That's not to say this is a great game, because it honestly isn't. This game has graphics that couldn't compete with games at the time, characters that looked a bit cartoony (reminds me of characters in Timesplitters 2 and Future Perfect), and it's a rather short game at about 5 or so hours long. If you look at this game as a PS2 game, it holds up more favorably. I recently played through Call of Duty: Finest Hour, which was a game I really liked back in the day, but it is a lot rougher than a lot of us remember. If you compare it to that game, Turning Point is similar to that. Imperfect but fun at the right price. Curiously, both of these games were also created by the same developer. Many people will say that Turning Point is awful due to its drawbacks, and I can't say that they're wrong, but I thoroughly enjoyed the game despite those said drawbacks.

After reading all the critics and user reviews I decided to throw down the $3 at Gamestop and give this game a shot. Im glad I did. if you overlook the less than stellar graphics and a few minor annoyances (checkpoints are forever apart in most areas, dumb-as-rocks AI [which at the same time sorta makes it fun], youll find a solid and fun fps. The achievements are fun and easy too. Multiplayer is dead completely though so i didnt get to try that but hey for 3 bucks Im not complaining. Bottom Line- Great game for $10 and under but anything more I'd be pissed lol.

The game's ultimate wrong turning is that it looks and plays like something released several years ago. [May 2008, p.88]
Sadly, you will battle nearly as many bugs as Nazis through the course of Turning Point. For all the game gets wrong, which marks about ninety-eight percent of the game, they deserve credit for at least writing a solid, heroic ending to the game. The trick is plodding through four to five hours of bad to get to the thirty-seconds of goodness.
A terrible, dreary, teidous mess. [June 2008, p.82]
Hats off to Spark Unlimited, we really thought that Conflict: Denied Ops would be the worst first-person shooter of the year...but Turning Point: Fall of Liberty snatches that award with both hands.
In many ways Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is playable, but there’s so much unredeemable dross that you should seriously question why you purchased the game when every other FPS on the system is far more deserving of your money.
The gameplay and graphics are too outdated. Its ok for xbox 1 but not xbox 360.

Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is probably one of the worst shooters I've played on Xbox360. Turning Point looks bad, the game was released in 2008, but looks like a game from 2005. Here is a dull tire as in the last parts of the COD, a direct corridor with dumb enemies who do not react in any way to the player's actions. There is no plot here in fact. And the introduction looks funny, it turns out WW2 Churchill won not the titanic efforts of the USSR in Europe and the USA in the Pacific Ocean. The game takes place in 3 hours at a time and it benefits her, because I would not start it for the second time.

Turning Point Fall Of Liberty is a dreadful FPS that wastes an interesting premise.
Turning Point's first issue is the the horrible shooting **** guns have absolutely no punch to them.Another big issue here is the unforgivably **** AI.They are horribly inaccurate and have absolutely no tactical organisation and the game follows all sorts of generic FPS cliches.
The graphics are terrible but the game's framerate remains stable **** game has load times just like developer Spark Unlimited's other game Legendary that last about 2 minutes after you die.
The story here has potential,I won't spoil in case you want to play this piece of **** for some reason.
The sound design and soundtrack are awful too.
Overall,Turning Point Fall Of Liberty has to be one of the worst games for the 360.Avoid this at all costs.

This has to be like a definitively bad game to me. I bought this piece of crap from a gamespot when I was a teenager and wasted my money. I even tried to bring it back to the store, unsuccessfully. I want my money back Codemasters! sixty dollars! I want it back! Even you don't know, this game is unfun, broken, boring, and stupid. Don't trust anyone who says otherwise. It is so incredibly bad. So many games become delisted or unplayable over the passage of time. I feel like this game should be intentionally delisted or something.

Please do not bother, I bought this game for 1 dollar and returned it, admittedly I did play through the whole 4 or so hours it takes to finish this game however a glitch/disc error in the last stage prevented me from finishing, I could go on pointing out what was wrong with it but I will just leave it at everything.

Summary The game supposes that the incident in which a car struck Winston Churchill in New York on December 13th 1931 actually proved fatal – and that without his inspirational speeches to galvanise the Allies, the course of the Second World War took a very different route, with the Axis Powers even invading America.
