Your mission... race to Berlin while the last remaining German troops slow Stalin's advancing army. Tactfully make your way through the front line to the secret nuclear research facilities.

Fans of WWII will no doubt seek it out since there is a rabid market for such games. But once they get it home and find out that it sucks, they feel shocked, betrayed, angry and bitter at the very industry that they have come to love and trust.

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

The awful controls are a hhindrance, the missions are pedantic, and the levels are apparently designed by LevelBot 3000. [Jun 2006, p.83]

Fc B. gave it a6:
The game Isn't so bad...and allies DON'T shoot at you...but enemies sometimes keep coming and its stupid that you are alone the whole game but this is a war game to relax after you played medal of honor,call of duty or brothers in arms.but what we never saw in those games is that u can check dead bodies for ammo and the graphics aren't so bad if u only have enough patience and if you are smart enough you will like this game...and online is cool here!!offline you can play with (smart) bots [max. 7 bots+you]

Spartan 234 gave it a0:
Easily the worst game of the year by far. Horrible controls, cheating AI, abysmal graphics and animations, terrible audio, ultra-boring level design, and sloppy programming. Best of all (sarcasm), the Allied soldiers will shoot at you, but if you shoot an Allied soldier, it's Game Over! There's no way to turn friendly fire off, either. Avoid this trash at all costs, and don't say I didn't warn you!
