Critic Reviews

38	Cheat Code Central 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.
20	GameSpot If America's participation in World War II was as frustratingly terrible as this game, all of Europe would be speaking German today.
10	Official Xbox Magazine The awful controls are a hhindrance, the missions are pedantic, and the levels are apparently designed by LevelBot 3000. [Jun 2006, p.83]
