far too hard to control!! the curser kept disapearing if you stood still for a second too, which was really annoying.

This would make a great PC tital.

An intresting way of controlling your squad which was entertaining for a while.

But when you can't really control exactly where your shooting because the slightist wrong movement makes you run in the wrong direction (and belive me, when its close combat and you need to shoot someone it gets incredibly frustraiting) the games loses its momentem.

The control system is poor so the game fails to impress. Also the voice over is so deppressing/annoying and dull you start to dread the loading sequences.

not good

Finally a WWII game that you can actually feel part of, once you have got used to the basic squad commands and remembered not to overdo the coffee so you can have a steady hand while aiming its a simple and fluid game.

The controls are different to your average game but isnt that one of the reasons we bought a wii in the 1st place.

Normally with a game like this its too easy to forget how easy lives were lost during the war. If you make a silly mistake or bad decision your unit will usually get overwhelmed or crushed by a tiger tank but on the flip side its very satisifying as one of your grenades drops into a german dug out and the resulting explosion sends bodies and limbs flying everywhere.

Its historically accurate and doesnt have the arcade feel that Medal of Honour and Call of Duty have.

Im looking forward to playing the next game in the series and hope they bring out Hell's Highway onto the wii.
