Throughout three campaigns and 12 missions in single player mode, D-Day challenge players to prepare troops for battle, create combat strategies, and execute one of the largest military invasions in wartime history. Players must successfully plan and execute the turning points in the liberation of Europe: the first hours of the beach landing at Omaha Beach, the paratrooper attack on Sainte Mère Eglise, the taking of the Cherbourg harbor, operation Cobra, the battle of the Falaise pocket, and the liberation of Normandy in August 1944. During the campaigns, players can call in the help of resistant forces to recon the landing areas, take advantage of the Allies' air power (bomber, glider, paratroopers), and stop the German forces' counter attacks. D-Day features over 60 historically accurate units, including rifleman, paratroopers, artillery, tanks, transports, and air support. The multiplayer mode uses GameSpy's online Matchmaking network, allowing up to 8 players to play simultaneously on 12 different maps using 3 different modes. An editor allows players to create their own multiplayer maps. [Digital Jesters]… Expand

    D-Day will make you curse yourself for every lost vehicle, unit and infantry man and your dreams will be plagued by visions of allied soldiers dying, one after the other, on a far-away beach in a foreign land.

    At times I thought there were too many choices available in regards to issuing orders, but this does add realism to gameplay. The graphics are top notch within a genre that usually lacks stunning effects.

    I think this game will appear to WWII or history buffs, real-time strategy fans, and anyone with a strong patriotic streak.

    Nothing special as far as real-time strategy games go. It doesn't break any new ground, and it doesn't rise to stand on top of the pile of other games in the genre.

    The game is just plain boring.

    It's "Commandos" with dozens of units and none of the character. [Jan 2005, p.106]

    A poorly conceived, poorly executed mess. It’s an insult to the intelligence of gamers everywhere, and that’s no mean feat.

    Much more enjoyable than Panzers which is a bit childish (and has very inferior pathfinding)! It's the second episode in a trilogie (but Much more enjoyable than Panzers which is a bit childish (and has very inferior pathfinding)! It's the second episode in a trilogie (but not the best)!
