Although not quite as bad as the hour mentioned, I completed this on hard in two hours.

There was so much wrong with this game it's unbelievable. This was released at christmas time too so it's not old. I don't know how developers live with themselves after actually being satisfied with the end product

I feel sorry for anyone who bought it

Rated - 0 starsTotally Woeful

Puressence from Sheffield [Highly rated reviewer] , 30/03/2008

If you have ever played a good wartime FPS (Medal of Honour/the COD series) then prepare for the flipside of good.

This game is so bad I don't know where to begin.

The AI is abysmal, your squadmates get in the way or block your path; the enemy AI is laughable. The level design is boring (jungle or trenches all the way through the game). There isn't enough Ammo. It's way too easy, even on 'hard' mode, and you can finish the whole game in under 2 hours.

If you want to rent a terrible game for a quick and easy 500 GS Points, then knock yourself out, otherwise avoid like the plague.

Rated - 3 starsUneblievable

Alistair from Yorkshire , 07/05/2008

This game is great for kids and the AI makes it easier even on hard, however when you play the game it just stops mid play to reload the next scene, it really is unbelieveable and if I had paid money for this I would be demanding a refund.

I dont know what it is with Microsoft but they are accepting games that arent even finished and polished not once but nearly every game requires updates, they just want the games out and we as idiots are happy with it.

Rated - 3 starsToo Short

p0rnsta from Colchester [Highly rated reviewer] , 10/10/2008

Decent game.

not the best war game out there. Nothing compared to hte usual medal of Honour, or COD or Brother in Arms, but worth the couple of hours.

found it a bit too short, wasnt too sure when it finished.

good history lesson

Rated - 2 starsFar Too Easy

A customer from Yorkshire England , 12/03/2008

It's a decent game, glad i rented it rather than bought it. Started playing it and did it on easy first, an hour later campaign was over, so started it on the hardest level, a further hour and complete again, so it must be easy, as i am pants lol. Graphics are ok, and the cut aways to actual wartime footage were a nice touch. To be honest, it's all been done before, but if you are like me, a fan of WW2 games you may enjoy, albeit a very short game. Cannot tell you what online play was like as at the time i played no one was on xbox live playing it.

Overall, good for a rent but would not recommend buying it.
