World War II can be better. This is close to the best.
Gameplay: 10
You play as Lt. Powell in this world war 2 FPS game. You go through 7 different places from a Sub-pen in France, to the beaches in Normandy or the fields of Bocage. "2015" made a good job of keeping everything realistic.
"2015" also made a terrific job of building tension in parts of the game. Like in Arzew, where you can see a German officer rejecting papers of a truck driver, sending you right into the battle. Not only everything is a blast to listen or watch, it is fun to shoot Nazis.
The AI is good. They know how to take cover when you throw a grenade at them or hide behind walls when they see you wielding a sub-automatic rifle. All of the Germans too German and sometime crack jokes at each other.
Many many guns to offer and Spearhead includes more.
Graphics: 9
Very nice job. Explosions looks photo-realistic and debris fly. Water effects are also great and everyone look like humans. A part I don't like is that anything that replenish your health is glowing. Clipping into walls are very little but it happens.
Sound: 10
Realistic sounds galore! Planes engine, gun firing sound are all very real. Backed up by yuor fellow soldiers screaming "Medic!" or having very good dialogue. Germans to have a German accent and all speaks like germans. Music is also very good, especially the Tiger Tank music. Music rarely repeats as each mission have it's own music.
Replayablity: 6
Though Ohama Beach is nice to visit, it gets boring after sometime. All missions are also linear and don't have other ways to win. So, playing this game 5 times is fun. But the 6th time won't be. With exception with Ohama Beach :).
Reviewer's Opinion: 9
I'm still playing Ohama Beach in my spare time. It is soooo dramatic and strangely fun to play that mission over and over again. The other missions also got it's share of tension and plot twist, but the Ohama Beach level throws those at you fast and effectively, unlike the other missions where you have to 'work' to get that movie feel.
