If America's participation in World War II was as frustratingly terrible as this game, all of Europe would be speaking German today.

I have to admit, this game is truly bad. The graphics are flat and well the weapons looked nice but guns can't overall help this game. The gameplay is very simple and the AI is so bad, your allies will take some shots at you. That is annoying. Aiming with the guns are clunky, unless you use iron sights. The only good guns are probably the M1 garand and the BAR, which happens to be very slow but strong. The Thompson is good but feels weak. Singleplayer is very rotten, with no healing and barely any music. The music is good, when it happens, and the sound effects are very low budget. But somehow i enjoyed the game, probably because i was bored. And dont let the rating fool you, because there is no gore and the action feels kinda canned. However, there is multiplay but you will barely find anyone. I only found at the most of 4 people online. But there are bots. They are dumb, but still better than notin. As i said, the action feels canned but some battles are pretty intense. The only intense fights i was in was level 1 and level 9. I am gonna sum it up. Graphics-2 :The guns are decent, but there is no excuse for ugly visuals in the year 2006. Gameplay-2 :Except for a few intense fights, it's canned and simple. Sound-4 : Very low-budget sound effects, but nice music, when it's on. Artificial Intelligence-1 : No comment Overall 3-poor-This game could have gotten a 6 if it had improved AI and graphics and gameplay. Honestly, dont buy this. MOH or COD is better. Only get this game if you are incredibily bored....like me. Sad thing, Combat task force 121, which i gave a 7.5, which also had better sound, gunplay, and graphics, was made from the same people who made WWII combat. Task Force 121 came out a year ago before.

I've played many games that's based on world war 2 but I have never ever seen anything bad as this, not just the graphics there's no feeling at all in this game. Don't waste your money on this.

Hunter gave it a1:
Awful game.... terrible graphics, bad gameplay, and is basically trying to copy all the other better games out there... horribly flawed and hard to play. The first level you just run around in a pitch black room trying to find a "secret passage." Bad, just bad....
